Abstract
Messages can be exchanged using efficient topics. When a server is interconnected with endpoints via a broker that implements a topic-based transport protocol, the server can dynamically generate a response ID for a request message the server intends to send to an endpoint. The server can generate the response ID from an endpoint ID of the endpoint and a message ID for the request message. The server can include the endpoint ID and the message ID in the request message and can subscribe to a topic containing the response ID. Upon receiving the request message, the endpoint can extract the endpoint ID and the message ID and use them to generate the response ID. The endpoint can then send a response message that includes the topic containing the response ID. Alternatively, the response ID could be generated from a message ID and a pre-agreed upon unique ID.
