Re: [mosquitto-dev] map IP to topic

Two things:
  • We would like to map the related connected topics on a world map. Once we have IPs getting Lat/Long is easy. We can already get the IPs from netstat but it would be nice to know which IP is subscribed to what to show the relationships between the clients.
  • When a customer complains about connectivity issues with their client it would be nice to be able to get the IP of their client without having to ask them for it. This would help us troubleshoot. Many of our customers are not computer savvy so even asking them for their IPs can be a challenge.
It might be possible to have the clients themselves return the IPs. We'd have to look beyond the firewall of the home routers the clients are behind and it would require a firmware update to all of the clients. I was looking for an easier way.

What problem are you actually trying to solve here?

The point to pub/sub protocols is to abstract the publishers/subscribers
from each other via topics.
