”MQTT is a machine-to-machine (M2M)/”Internet of Things” connectivity protocol. It was de- signed designed as an extremely lightweight publish/subscribe messaging transport. It is useful for connec- tions connections with remote locations where a small code footprint is required and/or network bandwidth is at a premium. For example, it has been used in sensors communicating to a broker via satellite link, over occasional dial-up connections with healthcare providers, and in a range of home automation and small device scenarios. It is also ideal for mobile applications because of its small size, low power usage, minimised minimized data packets, and efficient distribution of information to one or many receivers (more...)”.

Sparkplug provides an open and freely available specification for how Edge of Network (EoN) gate- ways gateways or native MQTT enabled end devices and MQTT Applications communicate bi-directionally within an MQTT Infrastructure. One of the unique aspects of MQTT is that it was originally  originally designed for real time SCADA systems to help reduce data latency over bandwidth limited and often unreliable network infrastructure. Similarly the intent of the Sparkplug specification is to take full advantage of MQTT’s native Continuous Session Awareness capability as it applies to real time SCADA/IIoT solutions.
