A Constrained Application Protocol Usage for REsource LOcation And Discovery
RFC 7650, “A Constrained Application Protocol Usage for REsource LOcation And Discovery”, is a Proposed Standard document published in September 2015 by J. Jimenez, J. Lopez-Vega, J. Maenpaa, G. Camarillo. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document defines a Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP) Usage for REsource LOcation And Discovery (RELOAD). The CoAP Usage provides the functionality to federate Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) in a peer-to-peer fashion. The CoAP Usage for RELOAD allows CoAP nodes to store resources in a RELOAD peer-to-peer overlay, provides a lookup service, and enables the use of RELOAD overlay as a cache for sensor data. This functionality is implemented in the RELOAD overlay itself, without the use of centralized servers. The RELOAD AppAttach method is used to establish a direct connection between nodes through which CoAP messages are exchanged.
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
