CoAP Communication with Alternative Transports
draft-silverajan-core-coap-alternative-transports-03
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. UDP remains the optimal solution for
CoAP use in IP-based constrained environments and nodes. However the
need for M2M communication using non-IP networks, improved transport
level end-to-end reliability and security, NAT and firewall traversal
issues, and mechanisms possibly incurring a lower overhead to CoAP/
HTTP translation gateways provide compelling motivation for
understanding how CoAP can operate in various other environments.

1. Introduction
The Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP) [I-D.ietf-core-coap] is
being standardised by the CoRE WG as a lightweight, HTTP-like
protocol providing a request/response model that constrained nodes
can use to communicate with other nodes, be those servers, proxies,
gateways, less constrained nodes, or other constrained nodes.
As the Internet continues taking shape by integrating new kinds of
networks, services and devices, the need for a consistent,
lightweight method for resource representation, retrieval and
manipulation becomes evident. Owing to its simplicity and low
overhead, CoAP is a highly suitable protocol for this purpose.
However, the CoAP endpoint can reside in a non-IP network, be
separated from its peer by NATs and firewalls or simply has no
possibility to communicate over UDP. Consequently in addition to
UDP, alternative transport channels for conveying CoAP packets could
be considered.
This document looks at how CoAP can be used by nodes for resource
retrieval, in an end-to-end manner regardless of the transport
Silverajan & Savolainen Expires April 24, 2014 [Page 2]
Internet-Draft CoAP Alternative Transports October 2013
channel available. It looks at current usage of CoAP in this regard
today and provides other possible scenarios. Then the document looks
at how resources using CoAP can contain resource information that
provide endpoint as well as transport identifiers, without imposing
incompatibilities with [I-D.ietf-core-coap] and maintaining
conformance to [RFC3986].
This draft does not discuss on application QoS requirements, user
policies or network adaptation, nor does it advocate replacing the
current practice of UDP-based CoAP communication. The scope of this
draft is limited towards a description and a requirements capture of
how CoAP packets can be transmitted over alternative transports,
especially how such protocols can be expressed at the CoAP layer, as
well as how CoAP packets can be mapped at transport level payloads.
1.1. Using Alternative Transports
Extending CoAP's REST-based usage over alternative transports allows
CoAP implementations to have a significantly larger relevance in
constrained as well as non-constrained networked environments. It
leads to better code optimisation in constrained nodes and
implementation reuse across new transport channels. As opposed to
implementing new resource retrieval schemes, an application in an
end-node can continue relying on using CoAP for this purpose, but
lets CoAP take into account the change in end point identification
and transport protocol. This simplifies development and memory
requirements. Resource representations are also visible in an end-
to-end manner for any CoAP client.
Inevitably, if two CoAP endpoints reside in distinctly separate
networks with orthogonal transports, a CoAP proxy node is needed
between the 2 networks so that CoAP Requests and Responses can be
fulfilled properly. The processing and computational overhead for
conveying CoAP packets from one underlying transport to another,
would be less than that of an application-level gateway performing
individual packet-based, protocol translation between CoAP to another
resource retrieval scheme.
1.2. Use Cases
CoAP has been designed to work on top of UDP, that is, on top of a
transport that can lose, reorder, and duplicate packets. UDP has
been chosen as the transport protocol over IP due its lightweight
nature and connectionless characteristics. In addition to point-to-
point communication, this allows multicast and group communications
[I-D.ietf-core-groupcomm]. Moreover, DTLS can be employed to secure
CoAP communication.
Silverajan & Savolainen Expires April 24, 2014 [Page 3]
Internet-Draft CoAP Alternative Transports October 2013
At this time of writing, the use of CoAP is also being specified for
other environments as follows:
1. CoAP Request and Response messages can be sent via SMS or USSD
between CoAP end-points in a cellular network
[I-D.becker-core-coap-sms-gprs]. A CoAP Request message can also
be sent via SMS from a CoAP client to a sleeping CoAP Server as a
wake-up mechanism for subsequent communication via GPRS. The
Open Mobile Alliance (OMA) specifies both UDP and SMS as
transports for M2M communication in cellular networks. The OMA
Lightweight M2M protocol being drafted uses CoAP, and as
transports, specifies both UDP binding as well as Short Message
Service (SMS) bindings [OMALWM2M] for the same reason.
2. The WebSocket protocol is being used as a transport channel
between WebSocket enabled CoAP end-points on the Internet
[I-D.savolainen-core-coap-websockets]. This is particularly
useful as a means for web browsers, particularly in smart
devices, to allow embedded client side scripts to upgrade an
existing HTTP connection to a WebSocket connection through which
CoAP Request and Response messages can be exchanged with a
WebSocket-enabled server. This also allows a browser containing
an embedded CoAP server to behave as a WebSocket client by
opening a connection to a WebSocket enabled CoAP Mirror Server to
register and update its resources.
3. [I-D.jimenez-p2psip-coap-reload] specifices how CoAP nodes can
use a peer-to-peer overlay network called RELOAD, as a resource
caching facility for storing wireless sensor data. When a CoAP
node registers its resources with a RELOAD Proxy Node (PN), the
node computes a hash value from the CoAP URI and stores it as a
structure together with the PN's Node ID as well as the
resources. Resource retrieval by CoAP nodes is accomplished by
computing the hash key over the Request URI,opening a connection
to the overlay and using its message routing system to contact
the CoAP server via its PN.
4. Using TCP to facilitate the traversal of CoAP Request and
Response messages [I-D.bormann-core-coap-tcp]. This allows
easier communication between CoAP clients and servers separated
by firewalls and NATS. This also allows CoAP messages to be
transported over push notification services from a notification
server to a client app on a smartphone, that may previously have
subscribed to receive change notifications of CoAP resource
representations, possibly by using CoAP Observe-functionality
[I-D.ietf-core-observe].
Silverajan & Savolainen Expires April 24, 2014 [Page 4]
Internet-Draft CoAP Alternative Transports October 2013
We also envisage CoAP being extended atop other transport channels,
such as:
1. The transportation of CoAP messages in Delay-Tolerant Networks
[RFC4838], using the Bundle Protocol [RFC5050] for reaching
sensors in extremely challenging environments such as acoustic,
underwater and deep space networks.
2. Any type of non-IP networks supporting constrained nodes and low-
energy sensors, such as Bluetooth and Bluetooth Low Energy
(either through L2CAP or with GATT), ZigBee, Z-Wave, 1-Wire,
DASH7 and so on.
3. Instant Messaging and Social Networking channels, such as Jabber
and Twitter.
2. CoAP Transport URI
CoAP is logically divided into 2 sublayers, whereby a request/
response layer is responsible for the protocol functionality of
exchanging request and response messages, while the messaging layer
is bound to UDP. These 2 sublayers are tightly coupled, both being
responsible for properly encoding the header and body of the CoAP
message. The COAP URI is used by both logical sublayers. For a URI
that is expressed generically as
URI = scheme ":" "//" authority path-abempty ["?"query ]
A simple example COAP URI, "coap://server.example.com/sensors/
temperature" can be interpreted as follows:
coap :// server.example.com /sensors/temperature
\___/ \______ ________/ \______ _________/
| \/ \/
protocol endpoint parameterised
identifier identifier resource
identifier
Figure 1: The CoAP URI format
The resource path is explicitly expressed, and the endpoint
identifier, which contains the host address at the network-level is
also directly bound to the scheme name containing the application-
level protocol identifier. The choice of a specific transport for a
scheme, however, cannot be embedded with a URI, but is defined by
Silverajan & Savolainen Expires April 24, 2014 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft CoAP Alternative Transports October 2013
convention or standardisation of the protocol using the scheme. As
examples, [RFC5092] defines the 'imap' scheme for the IMAP protocol
over TCP, while [RFC2818] requires that the 'https' protocol
identifier be used to differentiate using HTTP over TLS instead of
TCP.
Several ways of formulating a URI which express an alternative
transport binding to CoAP, can be envisioned. These are listed in
this section. When such a URI is provided from an end-application to
its CoAP implementation, the URI component containing transport-
specific information can be checked to allow the CoAP to use the
appropriate transport for a target endpoint identifier.
The CoAP Transport URI can also be supplied as a Proxy-Uri option by
a CoAP end-point to a CoAP forward proxy in order to communicate with
a CoAP end-point residing in a network using a different transport.
Section 6.4 of [I-D.ietf-core-coap] provides an algorithm for parsing
a received URI to obtain the request's options.
2.1. Transport information in URI scheme
The URI scheme can follow a convention of the form "coap+<transport-
name>", where the name of the transport is clearly and unambiguously
described. Each scheme name formed in this manner can be used to
differentiate the use of CoAP over an alternative transport instead
of the use of CoAP over UDP or DTLS. The endpoint identifier, path
and query components together with each scheme name would be used to
uniquely identify each resource.
Examples of such URIs are:
o coap+tcp://[2001:db8::1]:5683/sensors/temperature for using CoAP
over TCP
o coap+sms://0015105550101/sensors/temperature for using CoAP over
SMS or USSD with the endpoint identifier being a telephone
subscriber number
o coap+ws://www.example.com/WebSocket?/sensors/temperature for using
CoAP over WebSockets with the endpoint at ws://www.example.com/
WebSocket
Note: Expressing target address formats other than IPv6 literal
addresses with '[' and ']' characters within this URI format, such as
Bluetooth, is as yet unresolved.
As the usage of each alternative transport results in an entirely new
scheme, IANA intervention is required for the registration of each
Silverajan & Savolainen Expires April 24, 2014 [Page 6]
Internet-Draft CoAP Alternative Transports October 2013
scheme name. The registration process follows the guidelines
stipulated in [RFC4395], particularly where permanent URI scheme
registration is concerned.
2.2. Transport information as part of the URI authority
A single URI scheme, "coap-at" can be introduced, as part of an
absolute URI which expresses the transport information within the
authority component. One approach is to structure the component with
a transport prefix to the endpoint identifier and a delimiter, such
as "<transport-name>-endpoint_identifier".
Examples of resulting URIs are:
o coap-at://tcp-server.example.com/sensors/temperature
o coap-at://sms-0015105550101/sensors/temperature
An implementation note here is that some generic URI parsers will
fail when encountering a URI such as "coap-at://tcp-[2001:db8::1]/
sensors/temperature". Consequently, an equivalent, but parseable URI
from the ip6.arpa domain needs to be formulated instead. For
[2001:db8::1] using TCP, this would result in the following URL:
coap-at://tcp-1.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.8.b.d.0
.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa:5683/sensors/temperature
Usage of an IPv4-mapped IPv6 address such as [::ffff.192.100.0.1] can
similarly be expressed with a URI from the ip6.arpa domain.
2.2.1. Usage of DNS records
DNS names can be used instead of IPv6 address literals to mitigate
lengthy URLs referring to the ip6.arpa domain, if usage of DNS is
possible.
DNS SRV records can also be employed to formulate a URL such as:
coap-at://srv-_coap._tcp.example.com/sensors/temperature
in which the "srv" prefix is used to indicate that a DNS SRV lookup
should be used for _coap._tcp.example.com, where usage of CoAP over
TCP is specified for example.com, and is eventually resolved to a
numerical IPv4 or IPv6 address.
2.3. Transport information in URI without authority component
The CoAP URI used thus far is as follows:
Silverajan & Savolainen Expires April 24, 2014 [Page 7]
Internet-Draft CoAP Alternative Transports October 2013
URI = scheme ":" hier-part [ "?" query ]
hier-part = "//" authority path-abempty
A new URI format could be introduced, that does not possess an
"authority" component, and instead defining "hier-part" to instead
use another component, "path-rootless", as specified by RFC3986
[RFC3986]. The partial ABNF format of this URI would then be:
URI = scheme ":" hier-part [ "?" query ]
hier-part = path-rootless
path-rootless = segment-nz *( "/" segment )
The full syntax of "path-rootless" is described in [RFC3986]. A
generic URI defined this way would conform to the syntax of
[RFC3986], while the path component can be treated as an opaque
string to indicate transport types, endpoints as well as paths to
CoAP resources. A single scheme can similarly be used.
When used this way, the URIs described in Section 2.1 for the TCP and
WebSocket endpoints would appear as:
o coap-at:tcp://server.example.com/sensors/temperature where "coap-
at" is the scheme and "tcp://server.example.com/sensors/
temperature" is the path component that contains transport
endpoint information as well as the path to the resource
o coap-at:ws://www.example.com/WebSocket?/sensors/temperature where
"coap-at" is the scheme, "ws://www.example.com/WebSocket" is the
path component that contains the transport endpoint information
and "/sensors/temperature" is a query component that contains the
path to the resource from the WebSocket endpoint.
Implementation note: While square brackets are disallowed within the
path component, the '[' and ']' characters needed to enclose a
literal IPv6 address can be percent-encoded into their respective
equivalents. The ':' character does not need to be percent-encoded.
This results in a significantly simpler URI string compared to
section 2.2, particularly for compressed IPv6 addresses.
Additionally, the URI format can be used to specify other similar
address families and formats, such as Bluetooth.
2.3.1. Making CoAP Resources Available over Multiple Transports
Silverajan & Savolainen Expires April 24, 2014 [Page 8]
Internet-Draft CoAP Alternative Transports October 2013
A constrained node that is capable of communicating over several
types of transports (such as UDP, TCP and SMS) would be able to
convey a single CoAP resources over multiple transports. A key
challenge here is the avoidance of URI aliasing [WWWArchv1], namely,
a situation where several distinct URIs refer to the same resource.
Requesting and retrieving the same CoAP resource representation over
multiple transports could be rendered possible by prefixing the
transport type and endpoint identifier information to the CoAP URI.
This would result in the following example representation:
coap-at:tcp://example.com?coap://example.com/sensors/temperature
\_______ ______/ \________________ __________________/
\/ \/
Transport-specific CoAP Resource
Prefix
Figure 2: Prefixing a CoAP URI with TCP transport
Such a representation would result in the URI being decomposed into
its constituent components, with the CoAP resource residing within
the query component as follows:
Scheme: coap-at
Path: tcp://example.com
Query: coap://example.com/sensors/temperature
The same CoAP resource, if requested over a WebSocket transport,
would result the following URI:
coap-at:ws://example.com/endpoint?coap://example.com/sensors/temperature
\___________ __________/ \_______________ ___________________/

Internet-Draft CoAP Alternative Transports October 2013
While the transport prefix changes, the CoAP resource representation
remains the same in the query component:
Scheme: coap-at
Path: ws://example.com/endpoint
Query: coap://example.com/sensors/temperature
3. Alternative Transport Analysis and Properties
In this section we consider the various characteristics of
alternative transports for successfully supporting various kinds of
functionality for CoAP. CoAP factors lossiness, unreliability, small
packet sizes and connection statelessness into its protocol logic.
We discuss general transport differences and their impact on carrying
CoAP packets here. Note that Properties 1, 2, and 3 are related.
Property 1: Uniqueness of an end-point identifier.
Transport protocols providing non-unique end-point IDs for nodes may
only convey a subset of the CoAP functionality. Such nodes may only
serve as CoAP servers that announce data at specific intervals to a
pre-specified end point, or to a shared medium.
Property 2: Unidirectional or bidirectional CoAP communication
support.
This refers to the ability of the CoAP end-point to use a single
transport channel for both request and response messages. Depending
on the scenario, having a unidirectional transport layer would mean
the CoAP end-point might utilise it only for outgoing data or
incoming data. Should both functionalities be needed, 2
unidirectional transport channels would be necessary.
Property 3: 1:N communication support.
This refers to the ability of the transport protocol to support
broadcast and multicast communication. CoAP's request/response
behaviour depends on unicast messaging. Group communication in CoAP
is bound to using multicasting. Therefore a protocol such as TCP
would be ill-suited for group communications using multicast.
Anycast support, where a message is sent to a well defined
destination address to which several nodes belong, on the other hand,
is supported by TCP.
Property 4: Transport-level reliability.
Silverajan & Savolainen Expires April 24, 2014 [Page 10]
Internet-Draft CoAP Alternative Transports October 2013
This refers to the ability of the transport protocol to provide a
guarantee of reliability against packet loss, ensuring ordered packet
delivery and having error control. When CoAP Request and Response
messages are delivered over such transports, the CoAP implementations
elide certain fields in the packet header. As an example, if the
usage of a connection-oriented transport renders it unnecessary to
specify the various CoAP message types, the Type field can be elided.
For some connection-oriented transports, such as WebSockets, the
version of CoAP being used can be negotiated during the opening
transfer. Consequently, the Version field in CoAP packets can also
be elided.
Property 5: Message encoding.
While parts of the CoAP payload are human readable or are transmitted
in XML, JSON or SenML format, CoAP is essentially a low overhead
binary protocol. Efficient transmission of such packets would
therefore be met with a transport offering binary encoding support,
although techniques exist in allowing binary payloads to be
transferred over text-based transport protocols such as base-64
encoding. A fuller discussion about performing CoAP message encoding
for SMS can be found in Appendix A.5 of [I-D.bormann-coap-misc]
Property 6: Network byte order.
CoAP, as well as transports based on the IP stack use a Big Endian
byte order for transmitting packets over the air or wire, while
transports based on Bluetooth and Zigbee prefer Little Endian byte
ordering for packet fields and transmission. Any CoAP implementation
that potentially uses multiple transports has to ensure correct byte
ordering for the transport used.
Property 7: MTU correlation with CoAP PDU size.
Section 4.6 of [I-D.ietf-core-coap] discusses the avoidance of IP
fragmentation by ensuring CoAP message fit into a single UDP
datagram. End-points on constrained networks using 6LoWPAN may use
blockwise transfers to accommodate even smaller packet sizes to avoid
fragmentation. The MTU sizes for Bluetooth Low Energy as well as
Classic Bluetooth are provided in Section 2.4 of
[I-D.ietf-6lowpan-btle]. Transport MTU correlation with CoAP
messages helps ensure minimal to no fragmentation at the transport
layer. On the other hand, allowing a CoAP message to be delivered
using a delay-tolerant transport service such as the Bundle Protocol
[RFC5050] would imply that the CoAP message may be fragmented (or
reconstituted) along various nodes in the DTN as various sized
bundles and bundle fragments.
Silverajan & Savolainen Expires April 24, 2014 [Page 11]
Internet-Draft CoAP Alternative Transports October 2013
Property 8: Framing
When using CoAP over a streaming transport protocol such as TCP, as
opposed to datagram based protocols, care must be observed in
preserving message boundaries. Commonly applied techniques at the
transport level include the use of delimiting characters for this
purpose as well as message framing and length prefixing.
Property 9: Transport latency.
A confirmable CoAP request would be retransmitted by a CoAP end-point
if a response is not obtained within a certain time. A CoAP end-
point registering to a Resource Directory uses a POST message that
could include a lifetime value. A sleepy end-point similarly uses a
lifetime value to indicate the freshness of the data to a CoAP Mirror
Server. Care needs to be exercised to ensure the latency of the
transport being used to carry CoAP packets is small enough not to
interfere with these values for the proper operation of these
functionalities.
Property 10: Connection Management.
A CoAP endpoint using a connection-oriented transport should be
responsible for proper connection establishment prior to sending a
CoAP Request message. Both communicating endpoints may monitor the
connection health during the Data Transfer phase. Finally, once data
transfer is complete, at least one end point should perform
connection teardown gracefully.
4. IANA Considerations
This memo includes no request to IANA.
5. Security Considerations
While we envisage no new security risks simply from the introduction
of support for alternative transports, end-applications and CoAP
implementations should take note if certain transports require
privacy trade-offs that may arise if identifiers such as MAC
addresses or phone numbers are made public in addition to FQDNs.
