12. System considerations for device data flows
• Connections, queues, subscriptions
• QoS – MQTT QoS0, QoS1
• Message Exchange Patterns
– Device-initiated pub/sub
• General topic
– Device-initiated request/reply
• Personal topic
– Cloud app-initiated pub/sub
• General topic
– Cloud app-initiated request/reply
• General & Personal topic
• Single point of contact for apps

14. Scalable routing made simple, using topics

15. Impact of IOT Event Topic Based Routing
Agility and Innovation
Add/remove applications without re-coding of routing
logic
Robustness and Scale
No manually maintained routing logic, 10s of millions of
connected devices supported
Development &
Maintenance Costs
No coding of routing logic
Operating Costs
Optimized network bandwidth
Less compute (no duplicated routing logic)

16. Benefits 1/2
• Decouple IoT Device / Gateway from Back-End Services to Allow:
–Easy scalability
–Shock absorber
• Command & Control + Collection
–Bi-directional, real-time communication to and from devices
–One connection to communicate with all devices or back-end services
• Sophisticated Routing
–Send data once to multiple devices or from device to multiple back-end services
–Advanced filtering of device generated data per back-end service
–Optimize network bandwidth by routing data only where it’s listened to

17. • Multi Protocol
–End-to-end communication service
• Security
–Industry standard based authentication facilities
–Fine grained access control and encrypted communication protect privacy
–Isolation of data access and partitioning of data streams governs regulatory
compliance
• Geographic Distribution
–Federated backbone for multi-datacenter communication hides complexity of
network diversity
–Provider independent cloud native support eliminates vendor lock-in
–Optimize inter-network traffic across cloud providers and with on premise data
centers
• Always Moving Data at Scale
–Start small, scale to massive size
–5*9’s availability delivers non-stop communications
Benefits 2/2
