# Eclipse Hono: multi-tenant device connectivity layer. The "Component View" describes MQTT, HTTP,
# AMQP and CoAP protocol adapters in front of a device registry that holds per-device credentials,
# an HTTP device management API for provisioning, and a Command Router for command and control.
# Hono routes telemetry to messaging infrastructure; it stores no device twin of its own.
