Which IoT protocol/framework for wireless M2M communication? [closed]

Question

There has been a lot of Internet of Things open standards, protocols, frameworks and even full stacks emerging recently. But which of them is the most functional, interoperable and future-proof?

• AllJoyn by AllSeen Alliance
• AMQP by OASIS
• CoAP by IP for Smart Objects Alliance
• DDS by Object Management Group
• HTTP by W3C
• IoT Platform by Intel
• MQTT by IBM
• Open Interconnect Consortium
• Stomp by Stomp Spec Group
• Thread by Thread Group
• WAMP by Tavendo
• XMPP by XMPP Standards Foundation
• ZigBee by ZigBee Alliance
• Z-Wave by Z-Wave Alliance

Is there any comparison of them?

Answer 1

Here are basic comparisons of some protocols mentioned above:

• Messaging Technologies for the Industrial Internet and the Internet of Things Whitepaper (PDF)
• Internet of Things: protocols war!
• Choosing Your Messaging Protocol: AMQP, MQTT, or STOMP
• IoT Protocol Wars: MQTT vs CoAP vs XMPP
• Beyond MQTT: A Cisco View on IoT Protocols
• Understanding The Protocols Behind The Internet Of Things
• Internet of Things (IoT) protocols COAP MQTT OSCON2014
• Protocols for Internet of Things
• IoT Conference Berlin: M2M, IoT, device management: one protocol to rule them all?

Among them, MQTT seems the most promising.
