The number and types of devices that are Internet connected continues
to grow. Sensors, appliances, utility meters, medical devices etc.
are Internet connected for various reasons. Many of these newer
devices are constrained in terms of processing power, memory,
communication capability and, available power. Devices such as
sensors and similar very small devices often lack a proper user
interface and hence configuring even the most basic parameters for
enabling Internet connectivity on these is extremely difficult. Some
of the existing configuration protocols can help in autoconfiguring
various parameters of the IP stack needed for Internet connectivity.
However this is not sufficient if the devices are using a web service
application. There is a need for additional information such as
service provider name and username/password etc. for authentication
etc. A configuration protocol solution for resource constrained
devices is needed in order to enable the potential enabled by
Internet connectivity. This document outlines the use cases and
requirements for user friendly configuration of such information on a
constrained device, and specifies a Constrained Application Protocol
(CoAP) based mechanism to meet the requirements.
