What is meant by Protocols MQTT and HTTP?
The MQTT and HTTP protocols are two different communication protocols used for data transmission in networked systems. MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport) is a lightweight, message-oriented protocol specifically designed for communication in IoT (Internet of Things) and M2M (Machine-to-Machine) environments. HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol), on the other hand, is the standard protocol for data transmission on the World Wide Web.
Typical functions of software in the "MQTT and HTTP protocols" area include:
- Connection establishment: Establishing and managing connections to MQTT and HTTP servers.
- Message transmission: Sending and receiving messages using MQTT and HTTP protocols.
- Subscriptions and publications: Support for subscribing to MQTT topics and publishing messages to these topics.
- Quality of Service (QoS): Support for different quality of service levels when sending and receiving messages, especially in MQTT.
- Security: Implementation of security mechanisms such as encryption and authentication for secure communication over MQTT and HTTP.
- Message buffering: Buffering messages in case of intermittent connections or unreachable servers to avoid data loss.
- Monitoring and diagnostics: Monitoring connection status, message transmission, and diagnosing issues for MQTT and HTTP communication.
