Abstract (EN): Middleware is being extensively used in Internet of Things (IoT) deployments and is available in a variety of flavors - from general-purpose community-driven middleware and telco-developed Machine-to-Machine (M2M) middleware to middleware targeting specific deployments. Despite this extensive use and diversity, little is known about the benefits, disadvantages, and performance of each middleware platform and how the different platforms compare with each other. This comparison is especially relevant to help the design and dimensioning of IoT infrastructure. In this paper, we propose a set of qualitative dimensions and quantitative metrics that can be used for bench-marking IoT middleware. We use the publication-subscription of a large dataset as use case inspired by a smart city scenario to compare two middleware platforms. The methodology enables us to systematically compare the two middleware platforms. Further, we are able to use our approach to identify inefficiencies in implementations and to characterize performance variations throughout the day, showing that the metrics may also be used for monitoring.
