[m2m-iwg] Beyond MQTT: A Cisco View on IoT Protocols

[Benjamin Cabé <bcabe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I don't think this has been shared on the list before, but here is [1] a nice reflection on protocols for M2M and IoT. It's interesting to see how CoAP, MQTT, XMPP, … compare with each other from a very high-level perspective. Also, interesting to see that XMPP seems to be moving more and more towards IoT (extensions for provisioning, sensor data interchange, efficient XML interchange)…

 

"Connecting sensors and objects opens up an entirely new world of possible use cases—and it’s precisely those use cases that will determine when to use the right protocols for the right applications."
