Topology( Section 5.2.1.1)
Span( Section 5.2.1.2)
Segmentation( Section 5.2.1.3)
What network topologies are allowed? Hub and Spoke. The broker( MQTT-Server) is the hub. All messages flow via the broker. What is the span of the transport: LAN vs. WAN?
MQTT can span globally over the WAN, as long as the broker is accessible via TCP / IP.
Can the transport support multiple independent and isolated communication paths between the same network endpoints?
Segmentation is tied to the MQTT-Servers. Clients connected to different Servers are segmented from each other.
