MQTT Broker
MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport) is a lightweight messaging protocol designed for small sensors and mobile devices optimized for high-latency or unreliable networks. It operates over TCP/IP, facilitating publish/subscribe messaging ideal for IoT applications, enabling efficient data exchange with minimal bandwidth consumption..
MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport) is a lightweight, open messaging protocol designed to facilitate communication in resource-constrained devices and unreliable network environments. It follows a publish/subscribe model, where clients connect to a central broker that routes messages. This decouples the message producers and consumers, enabling scalable asynchronous communication.
MQTT operates primarily over TCP port 1883 in plaintext, using minimal packet headers to reduce network overhead. The protocol supports three Quality of Service (QoS) levels for message delivery: at most once (fire and forget), at least once (acknowledged delivery), and exactly once (assured delivery). This flexibility adapts to different application needs, balancing reliability and network resource usage.
Widely used in IoT (Internet of Things), MQTT facilitates telemetry data collection, device monitoring, and remote control. Its lightweight nature suits battery-powered sensor nodes communicating over unstable connections such as wireless and satellite, supporting scalable deployments across varied industries like smart homes, industrial automation, and asset tracking.
