While those transports do not support multicast, it is possible to rely on multicast for discovering that a server has those transports available and that they allow accessing the targeted resource, possibly with block-wise transfer used for random access to blocks within the resource reprentation. Such discovering can rely on means defined in {{I-D.ietf-core-transport-indication}}. ### Other Transports ### CoAP group communication may be used over transports other than UDP/IP multicast. For example broadcast, non-UDP multicast, geocast, serial unicast, etc. In such cases the particular considerations for UDP/IP multicast in this document may need to be applied to that particular transport. @@ -1719,6 +1719,8 @@ Client A B C ## Version -11 to -12 ## {#sec-11-12} +* Clarified relation with TCP/TLS/WebSockets. + * Clarified security on the different legs with a proxy. * Editorial improvements.
