Q- Can I get list of all topics on a broker? A- Not unless you subscribe to all topics and scan them.
Can a client subscribe to all topics available with broker in MQTT?
Sometimes, it is necessary to subscribe to all messages that are transferred over the broker. For example, to persist all messages into a database. Do not subscribe to all messages on a broker by using an MQTT client and subscribing to a multi-level wildcard.
How do I subscribe to topics MQTT?
You can subscribe to multiple topics using two wildcard characters (+ and #) as discussed in the understanding MQTT topics tutorial. All subscriptions are acknowledged by the broker using a subscription acknowledge message that includes a packet identifier that can be used to verify the success of the subscription.
How many topics can be created in MQTT?
If that strictly follows the MQTT spec we are talking about 7^65536 possible topics (as explained here ), but for smaller brokers / clients (for example embedded stuff) the maximum topic length can be a lot smaller than 65536 bytes.
Can multiple clients publish to the same topic?
More than one publisher can publish messages to a topic. Publishers can share a connection or use different connections, but they can all access the same topic. More than one subscriber can consume messages from a topic.
How does a publish and subscribe system work in MQTT?
Use topic-based publish/subscribe to write MQTT applications. When the MQTT client is connected, publications flow in either direction between the client and server. The publications are sent from the client when information is published at the client.
Is MQTT based on CoAP or HTTP?
MQTT and CoAP are both useful as IoT protocols, but have fundamental differences. MQTT is a many-to-many communication protocol for passing messages between multiple clients through a central broker.CoAP is, primarily, a one-to-one protocol for transferring state information between client and server.
What is MQTT subscribe?
To receive messages on topics of interest, the client sends a SUBSCRIBE message to the MQTT broker. This subscribe message is very simple, it contains a unique packet identifier and a list of subscriptions. Packet Identifier The packet identifier uniquely identifies a message as it flows between the client and broker.
What happens if we publish first before subscribe to a topic?
A message published before a given subscription was created will usually not be delivered for that subscription. Thus, a message published to a topic that has no subscription will not be delivered to any subscriber.
What is the difference between MQTT server and MQTT broker?
The MQTT connection is always between one client and the broker. Clients never connect to each other directly. To initiate a connection, the client sends a CONNECT message to the broker. The broker responds with a CONNACK message and a status code.
Are MQTT topics case sensitive?
Since MQTT topics are case sensitive, it is important to use a standard set of naming conventions when designing MQTT topics. For this reason, customers should only use lowercase letters, numbers, and dashes when creating each topic level.
What is MQTT broker?
An MQTT broker is an intermediary entity that enables MQTT clients to communicate. Specifically, an MQTT broker receives messages published by clients, filters the messages by topic, and distributes them to subscribers.
Does MQTT retain?
A retained message is a normal MQTT message with the retained flag set to true. Each client that subscribes to a topic pattern that matches the topic of the retained message receives the retained message immediately after they subscribe.The broker stores only one retained message per topic.
What is MQTT publish?
MQTT is a lightweight, publish-subscribe network protocol that transports messages between devices. The protocol usually runs over TCP/IP, however, any network protocol that provides ordered, lossless, bi-directional connections can support MQTT.
Can MQTT have multiple subscribers?
Yes. AWS IoT uses MQTT, which follows a topic-based publish-subscribe pattern. This allows multiple subscribers to a topic, and multiple clients can even publish to the same topic (a topic is not specifically designated for one client to publish or subscribe to).
Why MQTT protocol is used in IoT?
Residing on top of the TCP/IP network stack, MQTT is a lightweight publish/subscribe messaging protocol designed for low-bandwidth, high latency, unreliable networks. MQTT’s features make it an excellent option for sending high volumes of sensor messages to analytics platforms and cloud solutions.
Who subscribes to the topics that are managed by the broker publishers Brokers consumers both publishers and consumers?
Publish subscribe model: There are three entities publisher, broker and consumers. Publishers send the data to the brokers on topics managed by the brokers. Consumers subscribe to topics and brokers send the data on the topics to the consumers.
What is the role of broker in publish subscribe model?
The broker normally performs a store and forward function to route messages from publishers to subscribers. In addition, the broker may prioritize messages in a queue before routing. Subscribers may register for specific messages at build time, initialization time or runtime.
What is publish subscribe model in IOT?
The publish-subscribe model is different from the traditional client-server model. It separates the client (publisher) that sends the message from the client (subscriber) that receives the message. The publisher and the subscriber do not need to establish direct contact.
Is MQTT better than CoAP?
MQTT and CoAP both are the most popular Internet of Things protocols.

| Features | MQTT | CoAP |
|---|---|---|
| Model used for communication | Publish-Subscribe | Request-Response Publish-Subscribe |
| Communication node | M:N | 1:1 |
| Power consumption | Higher than CoAP | Lower than MQTT |
| RESTful | No | Yes |
Why CoAP is more suitable for IoT?
CoAP. MQTT and CoAP are suitable for the IoT because they both reduce the size of the network packet. In addition, they both reduce the overloading of the network bandwidth, save battery power and storage space, reduce the amount of data the CPU operates, and significantly improve the life cycle of the IoT.
