MQTT Protocol
MQTT (Message Queueing Telemetry Transport) is a simple, lightweight message publishing and subscribing network protocol. It is the standard protocol for Internet of Things (IoT) and Industry 4.0 messaging.
It is lightweight, low bandwidth, and functions well in high latency and unreliable environments, making it ideal in production environments. Devices send data (publish) to an MQTT Broker with a topic and a data payload, and devices can subscribe to that topic and subtopics and receive updates containing that data from the broker when the data changes. Topics can be defined to use several levels of depth and devices can subscribe to topics using wildcards allowing for dynamic changes when required.
