Efficient topics in transport protocols

A method for exchanging messages using efficient topics comprising:

• obtaining, by a server, an endpoint ID of an endpoint and a message ID for a request message to be sent to the endpoint;
• generating, by the server, a response ID from the endpoint ID and the message ID;
• generating, by the server, the request message, the request message including a topic containing the endpoint ID, the request message also including the message ID;
• publishing, by the server, the request message;
• subscribing, by the server, to a topic containing the response ID;
• receiving, by the server, a response message that includes the topic containing the response ID;
• and
• in response to receiving the response message, unsubscribing from the topic containing the response ID.

A computing system comprising:

• a server;
• and
• a plurality of endpoints;
• wherein, in response to publishing request messages intended for the plurality of endpoints, the server is configured to subscribe to topics containing response IDs that are generated from message IDs;
• wherein, in response to receiving the request messages, the plurality of endpoints are configured to publish response messages including the topics containing the responses IDs;
• wherein the server is configured to unsubscribe from the topics containing the response IDs upon receiving the response messages.
