Thanks for the input.
The IoT application could have a http ingestion receiver to funnel data into
Kafka. However, I am thinking about Kafka's ability to be able to injest
traffic directly from IoT devices.
Does anyone have any recommendations while using Kafka Connect between producer
& consumer sides over Satellite links. Does the Satellite link really
make any difference v/s a slow Internet link ?
Input/ suggestions would be much appreciated.
ThanksJan

I would not do that. I admit I may be a bit biased due to working for
Buddy Platform (IoT backend stuff including telemetry collection), but
you want to send the data via some protocol (HTTP? MQTT? COAP?) to the
central hub and then have those servers put the data into Kafka. Now
if you want to use Kafka there are the various HTTP front ends that
will basically put the data into Kafka for you without the client
needing to deal with the partition management part. But putting data
into Kafka directly really seems like a bad idea even if it's a large
number of messages per second per node, even if the security parts
work out for you.
