Constrained Application Protocol( CoAP)
Responsible standards development organization( SDO), task group or author( s), respective companies and email addresses.
Internet Engineering Task Force( IETF) Description Short synopsis of the technology.
Application Domain( s)
The Constrained Application Protocol( CoAP) is a specialized web transfer protocol for use with constrained nodes and constrained networks in IoT.
The protocol is designed for machine-to-machine( M2M) applications such as smart energy and building automation. Application domains targeted by the connectivity technology.
IoT scenarios where devices are very constrained( in memory or CPU or both). Scenarios that require interoperability between web technologies and the general Internet with the IoT device domain.
Dependencies Possible commonalities with or reliance on other connectivity elements.
• UDP / IP( DTLS)
• TCP / IP and Web Sockets( TLS) in progress References Website 1 and other useful links to the technology.
