IoT: MQTT protocol

MQTT: (MQ Telemetry Transport)"MQTT is a machine-to-machine (M2M)/"Internet of Things" connectivity protocol. It was designed as an extremely lightweight publish/subscribe messaging transport. It is useful for connections with remote locations where a small code footprint is required and/or network bandwidth is at a premium".

MQ Telemetry Transport - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Historically, the 'MQ' in 'MQTT' came from IBM's MQ message queuing product line.[4] However, there is no queuing in MQTT.[5] Similarly, although the term Telemetry is used in its title, the protocol is not widely used in the sphere of Telemetry.
