The IESG has received a request from the Constrained RESTful Environments WG (core) to consider the following document: - 'Observing Resources in CoAP' <draft-ietf-core-observe-14.txt> as Proposed Standard The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2014-08-08. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract CoAP is a RESTful application protocol for constrained nodes and networks. The state of a resource on a CoAP server can change over time. This document specifies a simple protocol extension for CoAP that enables CoAP clients to "observe" resources, i.e., to retrieve a representation of a resource and keep this representation updated by the server over a period of time. The protocol follows a best- effort approach for sending new representations to clients and provides eventual consistency between the state observed by each client and the actual resource state at the server. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-core-observe/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-core-observe/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
