We did some analysis regarding the MQTT protocol as well.Following are our
findings regarding the MQTT.

MQTT is low bandwidth consumption messaging protocol which supports pub/sub
protocol with the following limitations.

   - It has fixed header (2 bytes) . Specifications mentioning that it can
   be extended.But AFAIU clients[1] didn't support for this header extension.
   We have checked the MQTT with the messages published with headers and we
   didn't receive the header on those.Only receive the message body.
   - The payload size for a MQTT message is 256MB.I guess design point for
   MQTT usage is targeted at more constrained devices.[3]. MQTT is better at a
   high volume of low size messages.
   - It is supports only topic.This will not be a issue currently in our
   scenario as we used only topic currently AFAIK.[4]


I guess it build with above limitations and it is very good choice for the
mobile and small application as it is very lightweight and low power.[5]
WDYT?

Please share your thoughts on this.
