I’m assuming you’re trying to establish communicaton between Ignition Edge on one end and an Ignition Gateway on the other end?

I am personally working on a project using MQTT (3rd party module).  
I have 7 Ignition Edge and 2 Ignition Gateways (redundant).  
Performance is quite good, but there will be extra license cost for the MQTT modules.

Another way maybe you can try to connect using OPC-UA directly?  
On the Ignition Gateway you can try to create an OPC-UA connection to the Ignition Edge.

Are the edge devices and ignition gateway servers on the same LAN /VPN or remotely connected on internet ?
