This kind of open-loop exchange (with no response path from the server to the client) may be desired to minimize resource consumption in constrained systems while updating a bulk of resources simultaneously, or updating a resource with a very high frequency. CoAP already provides Non-confirmable (NON) messages that are not acknowledged by the recipient. However, the request/response semantics still require the server to respond with a status code indicating "the result of the attempt to understand and satisfy the request". This specification introduces a CoAP option called 'No-Response'. Using this option the client can explicitly tell the server to suppress all responses against the particular request. This option also provides granular control to enable suppression of a particular class of response or a combination of response-classes. This option may be effective for both unicast and multicast requests. This document also discusses a few exemplary applications which benefit from this option.}, }
