This is an implementation of a server for the MQTT protocol.
This broker is written in C++, using a epoll.
Currently this broker serves only QoS 0.

Linux's epoll based mqtt broker
Introduction
There are many open sources for a mqtt broker. eclipse/mosquitto is one of them.
But this open source is using a poll/select mode by reason of portability.
This topic was discussed in eclipse/mosquitto' issue #449
eclipse/mosquitto#449
As mentioned above the issue, select system call is hard to handle the c10k problem
So this implemtation is based epoll system call in the Linux as part of the effort to handle the problem.
Stuff it doesn't do
- support only QoS 0
- Linux specific
- Didn't benchmark it
For simple test
docker run -p 1883:1883 horoyoii/simple-mqtt-broker
