Re: [paho-dev] MQTT-SN talk at EclipseCon

Stefano,
I think this is an interesting question. MQTT-SN, like MQTT is
publish-subscribe, which means messages are sent to topics rather than a
particular receiver. In MQTT, you have to connect to a server, so to
some extent that server becomes part of the destination of the message
along with the topic. The same thing happens in MQTT-SN when you
connect to a server.
But when you use QoS -1 in MQTT-SN, without a connection to a server,
then what does that mean? For a UDP implementation, you can send
messages to a particular multicast group, so you could say that that
group becomes part of the destination. Receivers of those messages can
forward them on, so that the message can reach a destination to which
the originator was not visible.
So, I think that MQTT-SN applications could take advantage of the
underlying transport's mesh networking capabilities. An application
could interpret a topic as containing a destination for instance, and
use the transport's capabilities to get it there.
...asking for MQTT-SN descriptions / slides: apart from you eclipsecon
2015 ones of course! Very good material, anything else around?
