Hi Gwen,
Thanks for your reply. Our GPS device support TCP IP Socket communication with IP and Port. Kindly suggest KAKFA supports directly or do we need to write service layer for interface with KAFKA.

Kafka - Socket Communication from external system Kafka requires a specific protocol and it is unlikely that GPS devices will support this protocol out of the box. The usual solution is to create a service that accepts GPS packets using the protocol that GPS devices support, converts it to Kafka records and produce them to a Kafka broker.
