MQTT-ST: a Spanning Tree Protocol for Distributed MQTT Brokers

Abstract: MQTT, one of the most popular protocols for the IoT, works according to a publish/subscribe pattern in which multiple clients connect to a single broker, generally hosted in the cloud. However, such a centralised approach does not scale well considering the massive numbers of IoT devices forecasted in the next future, thus calling for distributed solutions in which multiple brokers cooperate together. Indeed, distributed brokers can be moved from traditional cloud-based infrastructure to the edge of the networ… Show more

“…In our previous work [1], we proposed MQTT-ST, a protocol for interconnecting MQTT brokers in a tree topology automatically, based on a combination of the Mosquitto bridging feature and the Spanning Tree Protocol. The protocol allows to create an overlay network among the brokers and to elect a root node for traffic forwarding, taking into account inter-broker latency and broker physical resources.…”

“…Therefore, an overlay network structured as a loop-free spanning tree should be imposed over the brokers. Here we reuse a modified version of our recently proposed work MQTT-ST [1], which allows to obtain such a loop-free topology in a network of MQTT brokers. The process follows the well known Spanning Tree Protocol used for layer 2 switches, and works according to a two-steps process:…”
