Research direction

Start by reviewing the multiaddr protocol and path-addressing design; the issue names no files or tests. Define what restricted MQTT addressing should support, including the /mqtt/stat/tasmota/POWER form and its combination with mDNS, TCP, TLS, and SNI, then add coverage demonstrating those cases.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

IoT seems to be a good use-case of libp2p in general, so support should be added for IoT protocols like MQTT. Luckily it already has a path-like addressing syntax, so it could be considered a (restricted) type of path protocol, eg /mqtt/stat/tasmota/POWER. This can then be combined with host resolution protocols, eg /mdns/mqtt.local/tcp/1883/tls/sni/mqtt/stat/tasmota/POWER
