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 particular 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.}, }
