# Listening Daemon

Communication between things in this room goes via a server running a
Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) broker. MQTT is a protocol
for communication in which participants publish and subscribe to
so-called topics. The broker acts a centralised point of exchange in
this process, ensuring messages reach their intended targets.

The server is also hosting the webpage displayed on the screen. The
server is the Klankschool server. Klankschool are a growing community
of people working with sound in and around Rotterdam, which both of us
are part of.
