2.1 CoAP Fixed Header: Version, Type, Token Length, Request/Response Code and Message ID.In order to make the protocol suitable to IoT and M2M applications, various new functions have been added. The Internet Engineering Task Force ( IETF) Constrained RESTful Environments Working Group ( CoRE) has done the major standardization work for this protocol. CoAP can run on most devices that support UDP or a UDP analogue. Multicast, low overhead, and simplicity are important for Internet of things (IoT) and machine-to-machine (M2M) communication, which tend to be deeply embedded and have much less memory and power supply than traditional internet devices have. CoAP is designed to easily translate to HTTP for simplified integration with the web, while also meeting specialized requirements such as multicast support, very low overhead, and simplicity. CoAP is also being used via other mechanisms, such as SMS on mobile communication networks.ĬoAP is a service layer protocol that is intended for use in resource-constrained internet devices, such as wireless sensor network nodes. It enables those constrained devices called "nodes" to communicate with the wider Internet using similar protocols.ĬoAP is designed for use between devices on the same constrained network (e.g., low-power, lossy networks), between devices and general nodes on the Internet, and between devices on different constrained networks both joined by an internet.
Constrained Application Protocol ( CoAP) is a specialized Internet application protocol for constrained devices, as defined in RFC 7252.
