| Mar 15, 2017 at 9:37 | comment | added | Perspectivus | Specifically, do internet cameras send their streams through a server or directly to my phone? Or alternatively, is the handshake done through a server and the stream transferred directly (as proposed here: iot.stackexchange.com/a/1118/1980)? | |
| Mar 15, 2017 at 9:31 | comment | added | hardillb | @Perspectivus why, there is practically no overhead to an open socket, it sends a very small keep alive packet (to let the broker know it's still there) at a configurable rate, which as long as it's shorter than 15min TCP time out the socket should stay open indefinitely. | |
| Mar 15, 2017 at 9:29 | comment | added | Sean Houlihane | No, that article is mostly junk. | |
| Mar 15, 2017 at 9:29 | comment | added | Perspectivus | @hardillb, thanks for clarifying about MQTT. Keeping the connection open seems a bit inefficient... | |
| Mar 15, 2017 at 9:27 | comment | added | Perspectivus | @SeanHoulihane, I found this article from mid of last year stating there are issues with "centralized" (client/server) approach techcrunch.com/2016/06/28/…. Is this a trend? Will we see more peer-to-peer communications between clients (e.g. smart phones) and IoT devices? | |
| Mar 15, 2017 at 9:24 | comment | added | Perspectivus | @Aurora0001, I'm just trying to get a general feel. | |

| Mar 15, 2017 at 7:58 | comment | added | Mawg | I see (+1). What makes that any different for IoT devices? | |
| Mar 15, 2017 at 7:56 | comment | added | Sean Houlihane | @Mawg Reverse address lookup. Accessing a device in my house from work. | |
| Mar 15, 2017 at 7:51 | comment | added | Mawg | I don’t think that you understand routers (sorry). What technically differentiates an IoT derive from a PC, as far as routing is concerned, and why would there be a problem for IoT devices, but not desktops, laptops, tablets & 'phones? Read up on Port forwarding. In fact, I don’t understand what you mean by “Direct remote access”; could you please explain? Thanks | |
| Mar 14, 2017 at 20:29 | comment | added | Sean Houlihane | I'd guess 99% of this year's installs will use (1), but have nothing to justify the guess. | |

While the question mentions MQTT it's not actually relevent to the question

| Mar 14, 2017 at 20:04 | comment | added | hardillb | Also MQTT does not poll, it opens a persistent connection out to the broker and the broker then sends messages back down that link | |
| Mar 14, 2017 at 19:59 | comment | added | Aurora0001 | Interesting question. I'm not sure whether there will be easily obtainable statistics to find out the percentages—do you specifically need those, or are you just trying to get a feel for which methods are more common? | |
