MQTT-SN uses UDP which is a connectionless protocol the connection is actually a virtual connection. However because MQTT-SN uses UDP , MQTT-SN also provides the ability to publish message without requiring a connection to a broker or gateway using a message with a QOS of 3 or -1.

Introduction In this project guide we will be developing python scripts to use a backup broker to publish and receive messages to improve message reliability in failure situations. MQTT offers three QOS settings -0,1,2 as described in the understanding QOS tutorial. QOS levels 1 and 2 require an acknowledgement from the MQTT broker and provide for reliable message transfer. However there are many circumstances were just relying on these QOS levels isn’t sufficient.

Messages are received by processing the message event.The format is: function (topic, message, packet) {} Example code is shown below: //handle incoming messages client.on(‘message’,function(topic, message, packet){ console.log(“message is “+ message); console.log(“topic is “+ topic); console.log(“packet =” +JSON.stringify(packet)); console.log(“packet retain =” +packet.retain); });
