Abstract:
The server end-point does not respond with acknowledgment (ACK) in
non-confirmable(NON)mode of CoAP. However, the server responds the
client with a status code indicating "the result of the attempt to
understand and satisfy the request". But there may be typical
scenarios, while updating resources in NON mode, where any kind of
response from the server may be considered redundant. Thus, in this
case, the transaction becomes completely open-loop with no reverse
path from the server to the client. This kind of exchange may be
useful in constrained systems looking for maximized throughput with
minimized resource consumption. This draft introduces a header
option: 'No-Resp' to suppress any response from the server and
discusses an exemplary but practical use case which actually
motivated this proposition based on real experience.
