A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. This draft is a work item of the Constrained RESTful Environments Working Group of the IETF. Title : Group Communication for CoAP Author(s) : Akbar Rahman Esko Dijk Filename : draft-ietf-core-groupcomm-06.txt Pages : 33 Date : 2013-04-12 Abstract: CoAP is a RESTful transfer protocol for constrained devices and networks. It is anticipated that constrained devices will often naturally operate in groups (e.g. in a building automation scenario all lights in a given room may need to be switched on/off as a group). This document provides guidance for how the CoAP protocol should be used in a group communication context. An approach for using CoAP on top of IP multicast is detailed for both constrained and un-constrained networks. Also, various use cases and corresponding protocol flows are provided to illustrate important concepts. Finally, guidance is provided for deployment in various network topologies.
