9		-Azure IoT Hub is designed around standalone end devices communicating directly with the hub. Each end device must connect to the hub via one of the supported communication protocols ([[MQTT>>url:https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/iot-hub/iot-hub-mqtt-support]] / [[AMQP>>url:https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/iot-hub/iot-hub-amqp-support]]). These protocols are inherently stateful - each individual end device must have one connection always open in order to send and receive messages from the Azure IoT Hub.

11		-The Azure IoT Hub integration prefers to use an asynchronous, stateless communication style. When uplink messages are received from an end device, the integration connects on demand to the Azure IoT Hub and submits the message, and also updates the Device Twin. The data plane protocol used between The Things Stack and Azure IoT Hub is [[MQTT>>url:https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/iot-hub/iot-hub-mqtt-support]], and the connections are always secure using [[TLS 1.2>>url:https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc5246]].
