Infrastructure in MQTT has three parts:
* Broker Server. Basically, its job is to accept subscribers and re-transmit info from publisher to subscribers. In
complex system, broker server can do more jobs related to data analysis and mining.
* Subscriber Client. In most of time, it listens to broker after subscribing and ready for handling incoming
message.
* Publisher Client. In "Internet of Things" system, each device connected has the ability of sensor and can be
triggered by events, which produces useful and important information to notify outside.
If subscriber and publisher are both integrated in an app, then it can work in duplex mode, which can listen to and
notify outside.
 Obviously, MQTT is built on TCP/IP and
implement Publisher-Broker-Subscriber pattern.
 It means one publisher can easily achieve
multicast functionality.

 Fixed header
 Message Type
 Flags
 Remaining Length
The message header for each MQTT command message contains a fixed header. The table
below shows the fixed header format.
Byte 1
Contains the Message Type and Flags (DUP, QoS level, and RETAIN) fields.
Byte 2
(At least one byte) contains the Remaining Length field. The fields are described in the following
sections.
All data values are in big-endian order: higher order bytes precede lower order bytes.
A 16-bit word is presented on the wire as Most Significant Byte (MSB), followed by Least
Significant Byte (LSB).
13
MQTT Control Packet format (cont…)

the protocol are shown in the table

 Fixed header

 Flags
 Remaining Length
The remaining bits of byte 1 contain the fields DUP, QoS, and RETAIN. The bit positions
are encoded to represent the flags as shown in the table below.
DUP
Position: byte 1, bit 3.
o This flag is set when the client or server attempts to re-deliver a PUBLISH,
PUBREL, SUBSCRIBE or UNSUBSCRIBE message
o This applies to messages where the value of QoS is greater than zero (0),
and an acknowledgment is required.
o When the DUP bit is set, the variable header includes a Message ID.
o The recipient should treat this flag as a hint as to
o whether the message may have been previously received. It should not be
relied on to detect duplicates.
15
MQTT Control Packet format (cont…)
 Fixed header
 Message Type
 Flags
 Remaining Length
16
Position: starts at byte 2.
 The Remaining Length is the number of bytes remaining within the current packet,
including data in the variable header and the payload.
 The Remaining Length does not include the bytes used to encode the Remaining Length.
 The Remaining Length is encoded using a variable length encoding scheme which uses a single byte for values
up to 127
 Larger values are handled as follows.
 The least significant seven bits of each byte encode the data, and the most significant bit is used to indicate
that there are following bytes in the representation.
 Thus each byte encodes 128 values and a "continuation bit". The maximum number of bytes in the Remaining
Length field is four.
Non normative comment.
 For example, the number 64 decimal is encoded as a single byte, decimal value 64, hexadecimal 0x40.
 The number 321 decimal (= 65 + 2*128) is encoded as two bytes, least significant first.
 The first byte 65+128 = 193. Note that the top bit is set to indicate at least one following byte. The second
byte is 2.

Non normative comment.
 This allows applications to send Control Packets of size up to 268,435,455 (256 MB).
 The representation of this number on the wire is: 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0x7F.
 The table below shows the Remaining Length values represented by increasing numbers of
bytes.

RETAIN (keep last message):
RETAIN=1 in a PUBLISH message instructs the server to keep the message for this topic.
When a new client subscribes to the topic, the server sends the retained message.
Typical application scenarios:
Clients publish only changes in data, so subscribers receive the last known good value.
MQTT message format (cont…)
Example: Subscribers receive last known temperature value from the temperature data
topic. RETAIN=1 indicates to subscriber B that the message may have been published
some time ago

"At most once", where messages are delivered according to the best efforts
of the underlying TCP/IP network.
 Message loss or duplication can occur.
 This level could be used, for example, with ambient sensor data where it
does not matter if an individual reading is lost as the next one will be
published soon after.

assured to arrive but duplicates may
occur.

being applied.

  • 16. 16 Position: starts at byte 2.  The Remaining Length is the number of bytes remaining within the current packet, including data in the variable header and the payload.  The Remaining Length does not include the bytes used to encode the Remaining Length.  The Remaining Length is encoded using a variable length encoding scheme which uses a single byte for values up to 127  Larger values are handled as follows.  The least significant seven bits of each byte encode the data, and the most significant bit is used to indicate that there are following bytes in the representation.  Thus each byte encodes 128 values and a "continuation bit". The maximum number of bytes in the Remaining Length field is four. Non normative comment.  For example, the number 64 decimal is encoded as a single byte, decimal value 64, hexadecimal 0x40.  The number 321 decimal (= 65 + 2*128) is encoded as two bytes, least significant first.  The first byte 65+128 = 193. Note that the top bit is set to indicate at least one following byte. The second byte is 2. MQTT Control Packet format (cont…)  Fixed header  Message Type  Flags  Remaining Length
  • 17. 17 Non normative comment.  This allows applications to send Control Packets of size up to 268,435,455 (256 MB).  The representation of this number on the wire is: 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0x7F.  The table below shows the Remaining Length values represented by increasing numbers of bytes.

  • 20. 20 RETAIN (keep last message): RETAIN=1 in a PUBLISH message instructs the server to keep the message for this topic. When a new client subscribes to the topic, the server sends the retained message. Typical application scenarios: Clients publish only changes in data, so subscribers receive the last known good value. MQTT message format (cont…) Example: Subscribers receive last known temperature value from the temperature data topic. RETAIN=1 indicates to subscriber B that the message may have been published some time ago
