MQTT Overview

MQTT is a connectivity protocol for machine-to-machine(M2M) interactions, also known as Internet of things . It was designed as an extremely lightweight publish/subscribe messaging transport protocol unlike a heavier one request/response used for HTTP.

It is useful for connections with remote locations where a small code footprint is required and/or network bandwidth is at a premium.
