Comment 2 for bug 902916

Well - that's the rub - I've never actually used it because it hasn't been available! However, I can see example cases where it might be interesting... for instance, where an Arduino could discover a named or "first in list" MQTT broker on a local network rather than having a hard-coded IP address, for example.

Certainly running a zeroconf browser on a network these days tends to discover a wide variety of services like chat, screensharing, DAAP iTunes resources etc.

You then of course need to think about security but that "should" be a consideration anyway.

From an enterprise messaging perspective then I could easily imagine that this would ease the creation of "clusters" of JMS servers. Having services advertised certainly makes it easier to configure things in GUI tools... although of course MQTT is typically more suited to headless small devices so it may not make sense to the same extent there.

Just a pondering...
