Thanks, Esko and Brian, also Bing and Carsten, for your valuable feedback.

I will work on a primary draft towards next IETF meeting. I will start from 
protocol-independent model and also provide a CoAP-bound solution. Use case for 
constrained devices would also be introduced.

Any one who is interested to contribute or co-work on this is welcome to 
contact me.

Regards,

Sheng
