1. Introduction

Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) technologies provide long range, low
power connectivity for Internet of Things (IoT) applications. LPWANs
typically operate over distances of several kilometers with link bandwidths
as low as 10s of Kbps. LPWAN devices are often compute, storage and power
constrained (often optimized to operate for years on a single battery
charge).

This specification describes the design and operation of Cisco's CSMP which
today is in-field managing approximately 25 million LPWAN devices deployed by
a number of vendors. These devices are supporting a variety of critical
infrastructure use cases for electric, water, and gas utilities along with a
variety of smart cities use cases (municipal lighting, etc.).

There is industry demand that CSMP managed devices be more quickly and widely
available for an ever expanding set of use cases. This specification in
intended to promote development of interoperable CSMP device and management
system implementations. It is anticipated that this specification will be
referenced by several industry fora.

CSMP features include:

Onboarding. Device startup registration and capabilities announcement with an 
NMS.

Configuration management. Device acquisition of configuration from the
NMS. Subsequent NMS configuration reads and updates to the device.

Metrics reporting. Periodic device metrics reporting to the NMS. NMS
on-demand metrics requests to a device.

NMS commanded device operations. NMS command issuance to a single device or 
group of devices.

Secure device firmware update.
