==Summary==
{{Template:Networking_rut_manual_mqtt
 
| name    = RUT230
'''MQTT (MQ Telemetry Transport or Message Queue Telemetry Transport)''' is an ISO standard (ISO/IEC PRF 20922) publish-subscribe-based "lightweight" messaging protocol for use on top of the TCP/IP protocol. It is designed to send short messages from one client ('''publisher''') to another ('''subscriber''') through '''brokers''', which are responsible for message delivery to the end point. RUT routers support this functionality via an open source Mosquitto broker. The messages are sent this way: a client ('''subscriber''') subscribes to a topic(s); a publisher posts a message to that specific topic(s). The '''broker''' then checks who is subscribed to that particular topic(s) and transmits data from the publisher to the subscriber. This chapter is a summary of the MQTT function in RUT routers.

==MQTT Broker==
The '''Broker''' will “listen” for connections on the specified Local port. In order to accept connections from WAN, you also need to check Enable Remote Access.

      <td>integer [0..65535]; Default: "<b>1883</b>"</td>
      <td>Specifies the local port that the MQTT broker will listen to</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
    <td>Enable Remote Access</td>
        <td>yes | no; Default: '''no'''</td>
        <td>If enabled, MQTT Broker will be reachable by remote user (from WAN)</td>
    </tr>
</table>
===Security===
----
The MQTT '''Security''' tab is used to establish MQTT connection security via TLS/SSL.

        <th>field name</th>

      <th>description</th>

    </tr>
    <tr>
    <td>CERT File</td>
        <td>.crt file; Default: " "</td>
        <td>Certificate file is a type of digital certificate that is used by client systems to make authenticated requests to a remote server. Client certificates play a key role in many mutual authentication designs, providing strong assurances of a requester's identity</td>

        <td>Authenticates a client to a server and establishes precisely who they are</td>
    </tr>
</table>
===Bridge===
----
The MQTT Broker also supports a functionality called '''Bridge'''. An MQTT Bridge is used for the communication between two MQTT Brokers. The window of Bridge parameters is presented below. Some of these are mandatory as they are needed to create a connection: '''Connection Name, Remote Address and Remote Port'''. For more information on '''MQTT Bridge''' parameters you can read the official mosquitto.org manual page.

===Micellaneous===
----
The last section of MQTT Broker parameters is called '''Miscellaneous'''. It contains parameters that are related to neither Security nor Bridge.

        <td>If enabled, the Broker allows anonymous access</td>
    </tr>
</table>
==MQTT Publisher==
An '''MQTT Publisher''' is a client that sends messages to the Broker, who then forwards these messages to the Subscriber.
