MQTT - Message Queuing Telemetry Transport ============================================= .. panels:: :container: container pb-4 :column: col-lg-12 p-2 :card: shadow .. panels:: :container: container pb-4 :column: col-lg-12 p-2 :card: shadow **What is MQTT?** MQTT stands for Message Queuing Telemetry Transport. It’s a lightweight, publish-subscribe network protocol used for messaging between devices, especially in low-bandwidth, high-latency, or unreliable networks. It’s widely used in IoT (Internet of Things) applications. .. panels:: :container: container pb-4 :column: col-lg-12 p-2 :card: shadow **Why is MQTT useful?** MQTT is designed for efficient communication in constrained environments. It minimizes network bandwidth and device resource requirements, making it ideal for: * IoT devices (sensors, actuators) * Mobile applications * Remote monitoring systems .. panels:: :container: container pb-4 :column: col-lg-12 p-2 :card: shadow **How it works?** * Client connects to broker – A device (client) connects to an MQTT broker (server). * Client subscribes or publishes – The client either subscribes to a topic (to receive messages) or publishes a message to a topic. * Broker routes messages – The broker receives published messages and forwards them to all clients subscribed to the topic. * Clients receive messages – Subscribed clients get the message in real-time. .. panels:: :container: container pb-4 :column: col-lg-12 p-2 :card: shadow **Where is MQTT used?** * IoT ecosystems – Smart homes, industrial automation, agriculture. * Mobile messaging apps – Where low power and bandwidth are critical. * Remote monitoring – Oil rigs, pipelines, weather stations. * Healthcare – Wearable devices and patient monitoring systems. .. panels:: :container: container pb-4 :column: col-lg-12 p-2 :card: shadow **Which OSI layer does this protocol belong to?** * It provides messaging services to applications and devices. * Uses TCP (typically port 1883) for reliable delivery (or 8883 for secure TLS). * Implements publish/subscribe model, which is an application-level communication pattern. .. panels:: :container: container pb-4 :column: col-lg-12 p-2 :card: shadow **What is a broker?** The broker is the central server that: * Accepts connections from clients (publishers/subscribers). * Routes messages from publishers to subscribers. * Ensures correct delivery based on topic matching and QoS (Quality of Service). .. panels:: :container: container pb-4 :column: col-lg-12 p-2 :card: shadow **What ports does MQTT use?** * Port 1883 – Default for MQTT over TCP (unencrypted). * Port 8883 – MQTT over TLS/SSL (secure). .. panels:: :container: container pb-4 :column: col-lg-12 p-2 :card: shadow **What are MQTT topics?** Topics are string-based filters used by the broker to route messages. Example: "home/livingroom/temperature". .. panels:: :container: container pb-4 :column: col-lg-12 p-2 :card: shadow **What type of communication does MQTT support?** * MQTT supports the Publish/Subscribe communication model, which enables asynchronous, decoupled messaging between devices via a central broker. * It allows one-way communication where publishers send messages and subscribers receive them. * It also supports two-way communication when clients both publish and subscribe on different topics, enabling bidirectional message exchange. * All communication flows through the broker — there is no direct client-to-client messaging. .. panels:: :container: container pb-4 :column: col-lg-12 p-2 :card: shadow **What is a Publisher in MQTT?** * A Publisher is a device or application that sends messages. * It decides what data to send and which topic to send it to. * It does not need to know who will receive the data. .. panels:: :container: container pb-4 :column: col-lg-12 p-2 :card: shadow **What is a Subscriber in MQTT?** * A Subscriber is a device or application that receives messages. * It subscribes to one or more topics of interest. * It only gets messages that match those topics. .. panels:: :container: container pb-4 :column: col-lg-12 p-2 :card: shadow **What is the working flow of MQTT?** * MQTT uses a publish/subscribe model involving three components: * Publisher: Sends messages to a specific topic. * Broker: Receives messages from publishers and routes them to subscribers. * Subscriber: Receives messages by subscribing to relevant topics. * Flow: * Publisher sends a message to a topic on the broker. * Broker receives the message and forwards it to all subscribers of that topic. * Subscribers receive the message asynchronously. .. panels:: :container: container pb-4 :column: col-lg-12 p-2 :card: shadow **Does MQTT support multiple publishers and multiple subscribers?** * Yes, MQTT fully supports multiple publishers and multiple subscribers. * Multiple publishers can publish messages to the same or different topics. * Multiple subscribers can subscribe to the same topic, and all will receive messages published to that topic. * The broker manages message routing, ensuring that each subscriber receives the messages they subscribed to. * This makes MQTT highly scalable and ideal for IoT and distributed messaging systems. .. panels:: :container: container pb-4 :column: col-lg-12 p-2 :card: shadow Topics in this section, * :ref:`Learnings in this section ` * :ref:`Terminology ` *
