Abstract:
There can be typical M2M scenarios where responses from the data
sink to the data source against request/ notification from the
source might be considered redundant. This kind of open-loop
exchange (with no reverse path from the sink to the source) may be
desired while updating resources or notifying about the updated
status of a resource in constrained systems looking for maximized
throughput with minimized resource consumption. CoAP already
provides a non-confirmable (NON) mode of exchange where The
receiving end-point does not respond with ACK. However, the
receiving end-point responds the sender with a status code
indicating "the result of the attempt to understand and satisfy the
request".
This draft introduces a header option: 'No-Resp' to suppress
responses from the receiver and discusses exemplary use cases which
motivated this proposition based on real experience. This option
also provides granularity by allowing suppression of a typical class
or a combination of classes of responses. This option is applicable
for both request/ response as well as resource-observe mode and may
be effective for both unicast and multicast scenarios.
