Raspberry Pi AWS IoT Client Code

Python
The code is based on Python MQTT Paho library (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/paho-mqtt/1.1)
It will monitor the network speed (reported by router based on SNMP), publish it if certain threshold reached.
It also subscribe and listen to our request, for example "status" report, "powerup"/"powerdown" specific PC, "scan" the network for active workstation, or report the speed.
