The OASIS MQTT TC is producing a standard for the Message Queuing Telemetry Transport Protocol compatible with MQTT V3.1, together with requirements for enhancements, documented usage examples, best practices, and guidance for use of MQTT topics with commonly available registry and discovery mechanisms. The standard supports bi-directional messaging to uniformly handle both signals and commands, deterministic message delivery, basic QoS levels, always/sometimes-connected scenarios, loose coupling, and scalability to support large numbers of devices. Candidates for enhancements include message priority and expiry, message payload typing, request/reply, and subscription expiry.
