Now Open source. Open Source libraries available. MQ originated from message queueing (MQ) architecture used by IBM for service oriented networks. There is noqueueing in MQTT. Telemetry data goes from devices to a server or a publish/subscribe mechanism.

New subscribers get the retained messages14-8 2015 Raj ~jain/cse570-15/Washington University in St. LouisMQTT Concepts (Cont)MQTT Concepts (Cont) Clean Sessionsand Durable Connections: At connection set up:Clean session flag all subscriptions are removed on disconnectOtherwise subscriptions remain in effect after disconnection Subsequent messages with high QoS are stored for delivery after reconnection Wills: At connection a client can inform that it has a will or a message that should be published if unexpected disconnection Alarm if the client looses connection Periodic keep alivemessages If a client is still alive Topic Trees: Topics are organized as trees using / character/# matches all sublevels/+ matches only one sublevel14-9 2015 Raj ~jain/cse570-15/Washington University in St.
