[paho-dev] MQTT client throttling

[Ian Craggs <icraggs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello all,

one of the features of MQTT client libraries listed on the HiveMQ blogs 
is "throttling".  In most, if not all of the client libraries we can 
"throttle" outgoing QoS 1 and 2 flows by waiting for acks before sending 
new messages, but this does not work for QoS 0.  I thought that our 
current approach might qualify as throttling - but apparently not :-)

Is there a definition of throttling for MQTT clients that we can all 
agree on, and works for any MQTT broker implementation?  I'd be 
interested in implementing that in various libraries, if it seemed to be 
useful.
