The Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP), although inspired by HTTP, was 
designed to use UDP instead of TCP.  The message layer of CoAP over UDP 
includes support for reliable delivery, simple congestion control, and flow 
control.

Some environments benefit from the availability of CoAP carried over reliable 
transports such as TCP or Transport Layer Security (TLS).
This document outlines the changes required to use CoAP over TCP, TLS, and 
WebSockets transports.  It also formally updates RFC 7641 for use with these 
transports and RFC 7959 to enable the use of larger messages over a reliable 
transport.

This document is a product of the Constrained RESTful Environments Working 
Group of the IETF.

This is now a Proposed Standard.

for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for
