CoAP defines a simple technique to individually retransmit lost messages, but has no other congestion control mechanisms. This document motivates the need for additional congestion control mechanisms, and defines some simple strawman proposals. The goal is to encourage experimentation with these and other proposals, in order to determine which mechanisms are feasible to implement on resource- constrained nodes and are effective in real deployments.}, }
