Abstract:
   CoAP is being standardised as an application level REST-based
   protocol.  A single CoAP message is typically encapsulated and
   transmitted using UDP.  This draft examines the requirements and
   possible solutions for conveying CoAP packets to end points over
   alternative transports to UDP.  While UDP remains an optimal solution
   for use in IP-based constrained environments and nodes, M2M
   communication using non-IP networks, NAT and firewall traversal
   issues and possibly mechanisms incurring a lower overhead to CoAP/
   HTTP gateways provide compelling motivation for understanding how
   CoAP can operate in various other environments.
