Is there a recommendation on how to do (direct) Edge 2 Edge communication/messaging (bi-directional messages between edge devices, "bypassing" IoT Hub). Is there any ootb functionality or modules that can be leveraged?

    It seems Microsoft is working on some kind of nested edge... But this seems to be in an early stage.

    I checked out EventGrid on Azure IoT Edge but this is for C2D and D2C EventGrid messages only.

    The solution at this moment seems to be to build an alternative communication channel yourself. I recommend to check out either MQTT or Websockets as Pub/Sub protocol.
