Description-en: MQTT version 3.1/3.1.1 compatible message broker
This is a message broker that supports version 3.1 and 3.1.1 of the MQTT
protocol.
.
MQTT provides a method of carrying out messaging using a publish/subscribe

implementation. This makes it particularly useful at the edge of the network
where a sensor or other simple device may be implemented using an arduino for
example.
