Subject: [OASIS Issue Tracker] (MQTT-260) Add a CONNACK code of 'Try Another Server'

Raphael Cohn commented on MQTT-260:
-----------------------------------

Just want to add - It'd be better for me to discuss this over the phone rather than by JIRA - I'm in and out over the next few days.

>                 Key: MQTT-260

>             Project: OASIS Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) TC
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: core
>    Affects Versions: 5
>            Reporter: Raphael Cohn
>            Assignee: Raphael Cohn

> If we add a CONNACK return code of 'Try Another Server', this makes it easier for over-loaded servers to tell clients to redirect. This works in conjunction with MQTT-259, which advocates the use of DNS SRV records.
> Indeed, if we also added server-originated DISCONNECT packets with this return code, we could get clients to cleanly migrate to another server when a server is shutdown for maintenance.
> Please note, I do not favour the server also reporting which new server to connect to. There in lies the route to madness, as it means the current server has to know the state of all the others. That's intimate knowledge.
