MQTT-SN in Zephyr: Lightweight Messaging for Constrained Devices
summary
Zephyr provides a complete Zephyr MQTT-SN client with a UDP/IP reference transport and an example contributed in 2022 plus later wildcard and gateway-discovery additions; missing features include predefined topic IDs and publish-before-connect. MQTT-SN uses a gateway that bridges to an MQTT broker, supports topic aliasing that can exhaust device memory, limits sleep timers to about 18 hours, and offers no built-in reliability or security guarantees (DTLS is discussed as an external option). Real deployments include an OpenThread node and a cat tracker.
