Subject: [OASIS Issue Tracker] (MQTT-249) Add expiry capabilities to MQTT.
[ https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/MQTT-249?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Andrew Banks updated MQTT-249:
------------------------------
Proposal:
1) Expiry of Session state, update the CONNECT packet variable header to replace the Clean Session flag with a Clean Start flag in the same position in the Connect flags and add a separate Session Expiry value.
- Section 3.1.2.3 Connect Flags The Clean session bit (1) becomes the CleanStart Bit..
- 3.1.2.4 Clean Start.
Position: bit 1 of the Connect Flags byte.
This bit specifies whether the Session state when a connection is made, see section Optional Session State Expiry interval for a definition of the Session State.
- After 3.1.2.10 Keep Alive add:
3.1.2.11 Optional CONNECT values.
The Remaining Length of optional Identifier/Value pairs in the
CONNECT Packet variable header. The remaining Length or the
variable header does not include the bytes used to encode
the Remaining Length. A remaining length of zero indicates that there are no optional
Identifier/Value pairs in the CONNECT packet.
On receipt of an Identifier or Value, that is not defined below,
the receiver MUST close the network connection.
3.1.2.12 Optional Session State Expiry interval.
Byte 17 (0x11) Identifier of the Session Expiry Interval.
Followed by the four byte Session Expiry interval, most significant byte first.
The Client and Server can store Session State to enable reliable messaging to continue
across a sequence of Network Connections.
The Session Expiry is a time interval measured in seconds, expressed as a 32-bit word.
After a network disconnection and the Session Expiry interval has passed,
without a new connection being made the Client
and Server each delete the Session State they hold.
If the Session State Expiry interval is absent
the Session State does not expire.
If set to zero the session State is deleted immediately the Network connection is lost.
If a new connection is made before the Session has expired,
the Server MUST resume communications with the Client based on state from the current
Session (as identified by the Client identifier). If there is no Session associated with
the Client identifier the Server MUST create a new Session. The Client and Server MUST
store the Session after the Client and Server are disconnected [MQTT-3.1.2-4].
After the disconnection of a Session and before the session Expiry interval has passed,
the Server MUST store further QoS 1 and QoS 2 messages that match any subscriptions
that the client had at the time of disconnection as part of the Session state [MQTT-3.1.2-5].
It MAY also store QoS 0 messages that meet the same criteria.
State data associated with this Session MUST NOT be reused in any subsequent Session [MQTT-3.1.2-6].
After the disconnection of a Session and after the Session Expiry Interval has passed,
the Client and Server discard any Session State.
A client with no clock SHOULD either set a Session Expiry of zero, or not set a Session Expiry.
A server MAY avoid implementing Session Expiry greater than zero by not actually deleting the
Session state.
After reconnection the Session lasts as long as the Network Connection plus
the new Session Expiry interval.
The Session state in the Client consists of:
QoS 1 and QoS 2 messages which have been sent to the Server,
but have not been completely acknowledged.
QoS 2 messages which have been received from the Server,
but have not been completely acknowledged.
If the session is currently disconnected,
the time at which the Session State will be deleted.
The Session state in the Server consists of:
The existence of a Session, even if the rest of the Session state is empty.
The Client’s subscriptions.
QoS 1 and QoS 2 messages which have been sent to the Client, but have not been completely acknowledged.
QoS 1 and QoS 2 messages pending transmission to the Client.
QoS 2 messages which have been received from the Client, but have not been completely acknowledged.
Optionally, QoS 0 messages pending transmission to the Client.
If the session is currently disconnected,
the time at which the Session State will be deleted.
Retained messages do not form part of the Session state in the Server,
they MUST NOT be deleted when the Session ends [MQTT-3.1.2.7].
See Section 4.1 for details and limitations of stored state.
When the Session State expires the Client and Server need not process
the deletion of state atomically.
Non normative comment
To ensure consistent state in the event of a failure,
the Client should repeat its attempts to connect with a Session Expiry interval of 0,
until it connects successfully.
Non Normative comment
Setting a Session Expiry interval of 0 is equivalent to setting CleanSession to 1 in the
MQTT Specification Version 3.1.1.
Setting no Session Expiry interval is equivalent to setting CleanSession to 0 in the
MQTT Specification Version 3.1.1.
Non normative comment
Typically, a Client will always connect using the same Session Expiry interval.
The choice will depend on the application.
A Client using Session Expiry set to 0 will not receive old
Application Messages and has to subscribe afresh to any topics
that it is interested in each time it connects.
A Client using a non zero Session Expiry will receive all QoS 1 or QoS 2
messages that were published while it was disconnected.
Hence, to ensure that you do not loose messages while disconnected,
use QoS 1 or QoS 2 with no Session Expiry or a Session Expiry greater than zero.
Non normative comment
When a Client connects with long Session Expiry,
it is requesting that the Server maintain its MQTT
session state after it disconnects for an extended period.
Clients should only connect with a long Session Expiry,
if they intend to re connect to the Server at some later point in time.
When a Client has determined that it has no further use for the
session it should do a final connect with Session Expiry 0
and then disconnect.
Non normative comment
A Client might be connecting to a server using a network that provides
intermittent connectivity. This Client can use a short Session Expiry
so that it can re connect when the network is available again and continue
reliable message delivery. If the client does not re connect, allowing the
Session State to expire, then application messages may be lost.
Non normative comment
If the client connects using this protocol, then re connects using
the MQTT V3.1.1 protocol using cleanSession=0 before the session has expired,
then the session state is kept indefinitely.
- Update section 3.1.2.11 Variable header non normative example to show no
Clean Session flag and add Optional CONNECT values with a Session Expiry interval.
- In CONNACK Replace 3.2.2.2 Session Present
Position: bit 0 of the Connect Acknowledge Flags.
If the Server accepts a connection with Session Expiry set to 0,
the Server MUST set Session Present to 0 in the CONNACK packet
in addition to setting a zero return code in the CONNACK packet [MQTT-3.2.2-1].
If the Server accepts a connection with non zero Session Expiry,
the value set in Session Present depends on whether the Server has
stored Session state for the supplied client ID.
If the Server has stored Session state,
it MUST set Session Present to 1 in the CONNACK packet [MQTT-3.2.2-2].
If the Server does not have stored Session state,
it MUST set Session Present to 0 in the CONNACK packet.
This is in addition to setting a zero return code in the CONNACK packet [MQTT-3.2.2-3].
The Session Present flag enables a Client to establish whether the Client and
Server have a consistent view about whether there is already stored Session state.
Once the initial setup of a Session is complete,
a Client with stored Session state will expect the Server
to maintain its stored Session state.
In the event that the value of Session Present received by the Client
from the Server is not as expected,
the Client can choose whether to proceed with the Session or to disconnect.
The Client can discard the Session state on both Client and Server by disconnecting,
connecting with Session Expiry set to zero and then disconnecting again.
If a server sends a CONNACK packet containing a non-zero return code
it MUST set Session Present to 0 [MQTT-3.2.2-4].
Non normative comment
The clock in the Client or Server may not be running for part of the time interval,
for instance because they are not running. This might cause the deletion of the state
to be delayed.
2) Update the description of the PUBLISH Packet to include the optional
Publication Expiry interval.
- After 3.3.2.4 Optional Payload Format Indicator. add:
3.3.2.5 Optional Publication Expiry interval.
Byte 2 (0x02) Identifier of the Publication Expiry interval.
Followed by the four byte Publication Expiry interval, most
significant byte first.
If absent, the publication does not expire.
If present the four byte value is the lifetime of the publication in seconds.
The server MUST attempt start delivery to a matching subscriber
until at least this number of seconds has passed, or the session state is deleted.
The PUBLISH packet sent to a client by the server MUST contain a Publication
Expiry interval set to the received value minus the time that the publication has
been waiting in the server.
See Section 4.1 for details and limitations of stored state.
The Server MAY avoid implementing publication expiry by passing the Publication
Expiry interval unchanged to any matching subscribers.
- In section 4.3.3 QoS 2: Exactly once delivery, for the Sender add:
MUST NOT apply Publication Expiry if a Publish Packet has been sent.
- In section 4.3.3 QoS 2: Exactly once delivery, for the Receiver add:
MUST NOT apply Publication Expiry until after PUBCOMP has been sent.
was:
1) Expiry of Session state, update the CONNECT packet variable header to remove the
Clean Session flag and add a Session Expiry value.
- Section 3.1.2.3 Connect Flags The Clean session bit (1) must be 0.
- Remove 3.1.2.4 Clean Session.
- After 3.1.2.10 Keep Alive add:
3.1.2.11 Optional CONNECT values.
The Remaining Length of optional Identifier/Value pairs in the CONNECT Packet
variable header. The remaining Length or the variable header
does not include the bytes used to encode
the Remaining Length. A remaining length of zero indicates that there are no optional
Identifier/Value pairs in the CONNECT packet.
On receipt of an Identifier or Value, that is not defined below,
the receiver MUST close the network connection.
