Introduction This document defines a CoAP function set for accessing YANG defined resources. YANG data models are encoded in CBOR based on the mapping rules defined in [I-D.ietf-core-yang-cbor]. YANG items are identified using a compact identifier called Structured Identifiers (SIDs) as defined in [I-D.somaraju-core-sid]. The resulting protocol based on CoAP, CBOR encoded data and structured identifiers (SID) has a low implementation footprint and low network bandwidth requirements and is suitable for both constrained devices and constrained networks as defined by [RFC7228]. This protocol is applicable to the different management topology options described by [I-D.ersue-constrained-mgmt]; centralized, distributed and hierarchical. 2. Terminology and Notation The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119]. The following terms are defined in [I-D.ietf-netmod-rfc6020bis]: o action o data node o data tree o module o notification Veillette, et al. Expires January 19, 2017 [Page 3]
Internet-Draft Constrained Objects Language July 2016 o RPC o schema node o schema tree o submodule This specification also makes use of the following terminology: o candidate configuration datastore: A configuration datastore that can be manipulated without impacting the device's current configuration and that can be committed to the running configuration datastore. Not all devices support a candidate configuration datastore. o CoOL client: The originating endpoint of a request, and the destination endpoint of a response. o CoOL server: The destination endpoint of a request, and the originating endpoint of a response. o delta: Within a list, a delta represents the different between the current SID and the SID of the previous entry within this list. Within a collection, a delta represents the difference between the SID assigned to the current schema node and the SID assigned to the parent. When no previous entry or parent exist, the delta is set to the absolute SID value. o child: A schema node defined within a collection such as a container, a list, a case, a notification, a RPC input, a RPC output, an action input, an action output. o datastore: Resource used to store and access information. o endpoint: An entity participating in the CoOL protocol. Multiple CoOL endpoints may be accessible using a single CoAP endpoint. In this case, each CoOL endpoint is accessed using a distinct URI. o event stream: Resource used to access notifications generated by a CoOL server. Events are defined using the YANG notification statement. o function set: A group of well-known resources that provides a particular service. Veillette, et al. Expires January 19, 2017 [Page 4]
Internet-Draft Constrained Objects Language July 2016 o object: Within CoOL, an object is a data node, an RPC or an action within a datastore resource or a notification within an event stream resource. o parent: The collection in which a schema node is defined. o resource: Content identified by a URI. o running configuration datastore: A configuration datastore holding the complete configuration currently active on the device. The running configuration datastore always exists. o Structured IDentifier (SID). Unsigned integer used to identify different YANG items. 3. Architecture The CoOL protocol is based on the client-server model. The CoOL server is the provider of the datastore resource(s) and the event stream resource(s). The CoOL client is the requester of these resources. CoOL objects are defined using the YANG modeling language [RFC6020]. Interactions with these objects are performed using the Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP) [RFC7252]. Payloads are encoded using the Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR) [RFC7049]. This specification is applicable to any transport and security protocols supported by CoAP. Implementers are free to select the most appropriate transport for the targeted applications. +--------------+ +----------------------------------+ | CoOL client | | CoOL Server | | | | - Datastore resource(s) | | | | - Event stream resource(s) | +--------------+ +----------------------------------+ | CoAP client | <-------> | CoAP Server | +--------------+ +----------------------------------+ | | | | | Lower layers | | Lower layers | | | | | +--------------+ +----------------------------------+ 4. Resources This section lists the URIs recommended for the different CoOL resources. A CoOL server MAY implement a different set of URIs. See the Resource discovery section (Section 7.15) for more details on how Veillette, et al. Expires January 19, 2017 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft Constrained Objects Language July 2016 a CoOL client can discover the list of URIs supported by a CoOL server using the "/.well-known/core" resource. o /c - The default datastore resource o /c/c - The candidate configuration datastore resource o /c/r - The running configuration datastore resource o /c/b - The backup configuration datastore (use to implement rollbacks) o /c/e - URI used to access the default event stream for this device. o /c/e0, /c/e1, ... - URI used to access alternate event streams. o /c/0, /c/1, ... - URI used to access a specific endpoint. Each end point represents a virtual device which can support any of the resources listed above. For example: o /c/1 is the default datastore resource for endpoint 1 o /c/1/c is the candidate datastore resource for endpoint 1 o /c/1/r is the running configuration datastore resource for endpoint 1 o /c/1/b is the backup configuration datastore resource for endpoint 1 o /c/1/e is the default event stream resource for endpoint 1 o /c/1/e0 is an alternate event stream resource for endpoint 1 All these resources are optional at the exception of the default datastore resource. The CoAP response code 4.04 (Not Found) MUST be returned when a CoOL client tries to access a resource that is unavailable. RPCs commit and cancel-commit defined in ietf-cool YANG module are available to perform the following operations on datastores: o Immediate or differed commit of a candidate or backup datastore. o Confirmed commit Veillette, et al. Expires January 19, 2017 [Page 6]
Internet-Draft Constrained Objects Language July 2016 o Cancel of a different or confirmed commit. 5. Operations This section defines the different interactions supported between a CoOL client and a CoOL server. 5.1. GET - Retrieving all data nodes of a datastore The GET method is used by CoOL clients to retrieve the entire contents of a datastore. Implementation of this function is optional and dependent of the capability of the CoOL server to transfer a relatively large response. To retrieve all instantiated data nodes of a datastore resource, a CoOL client sends a CoAP GET request to the URI of the targeted datastore. If the request is accepted by the CoOL server, a 2.05 (Content) response code is returned. The payload of the GET response MUST carry a CBOR array containing the contents of the targeted datastore. The CBOR array MUST contain a list of pairs of delta and associated value. A delta represents the difference between the current SID and the SID of the previous pair within the CBOR array. Each value is encoded using the rules defined by [I-D.ietf-core-yang-cbor]. The normal behaviour of a CoOL server is to exclude from the GET response, any data node currently set to its default value. When this behaviour is not appropriate for the CoOL client, this client can force the retrieval of all data nodes by using the 'a' Uri-Query parameter, see Section 6.1 for more details. If the request is rejected by the CoOL server, a 5.01 Not implemented or 4.13 Request Entity Too Large response code is returned. Example: In this example, the CoOL server returns a datastore containing the following data nodes defined in the YANG module "ietf-system" [RFC7317] and YANG module 'ietf-interfaces' [RFC7223]: o "/interfaces/interface" (SID 1533) o "/interfaces/interface/description" (SID 1534) o "/interfaces/interface/enabled" (SID 1535) o "/interfaces/interface/name" (SID 1537) Veillette, et al. Expires January 19, 2017 [Page 7]

FETCH - Retrieving specific data nodes The FETCH method is used by the CoOL client of retrieve a subset of the data node instances within a datastore. To retrieve a list of data node instances, the CoOL client sends a CoAP FETCH request to the URI of the targeted datastore. The payload of the FETCH request contains the list of data node(s) instance to be retrieved. This list is encoded using a CBOR array, each entry containing an 'instance-identifier' as defined by [I-D.ietf-core-yang-cbor]. Within each 'instance-identifier', data nodes are identified using SIDs as defined by [I-D.somaraju-core-sid]. Veillette, et al. Expires January 19, 2017 [Page 8]
Internet-Draft Constrained Objects Language July 2016 SIDs within the list of 'instance-identifier' are encoded using delta. A delta represents the different between the current SID and the SID of the previous entry within this list. The delta of the first entry within the list is set to the absolute SID value. On successful processing of the CoAP request, the CoOL server MUST return a CoAP response with a response code 2.05 (Content). When a single data node is requested, the payload of the FETCH response carries the value of the data node instance requested. When multiple data nodes are requested, the payload of the FETCH response carries a CBOR array containing the value of each data node instance(s) requested. The number of entries in this CBOR array MUST match the number of "instance-identifier" requested to allow a proper interpretation of this information. The following values can be returned for each 'instance-identifier' requested: o If the data node requested is not implemented or not instantiated, the CBOR simple value 'undefined' is returned. o If the URI-Query parameter 'a' is not present in the FETCH request and the value of the data node instance is equal to the default value for this data node, the CBOR simple value 'default' is returned. o Otherwise, the data node instance is encoded using the rules defined in [I-D.ietf-core-yang-cbor]. The normal behaviour of a CoOL server is to exclude from containers and list instances of a FETCH response, any data node currently set to its default value. When this behaviour is not appropriate for the CoOL client, this client can force the retrieval of all data nodes by using the 'a' Uri-Query parameter, see Section 6.1 for more details. 5.2.1. Example #1 - Simple data node In this example, a CoOL client retrieves the leaf "/system- state/clock/current-datetime" (SID 1719) and the container "/system/ clock" (SID 1734) containing the leaf "/system/clock/timezone/ timezone-utc-offset/timezone-utc-offset" (SID 1736). These data nodes are defined in the YANG module "ietf-system" [RFC7317]. CoAP request: FETCH /c Content-Format(application/cool-instance-id-list+cbor) [1719, +15] CoAP response: Veillette, et al.

Example #2 - Data node instance within a YANG list The data type 'instance-identifier' allows the selection of an instance of a specific data node within a list. In this example, a CoOL client retrieves the "/interfaces/interface/description" (SID 1534) leaf from the "/interfaces/interface" list. The "/interfaces/interface/name" associated to this interface is equal to "eth0". This example is based on the YANG module "ietf-interfaces" [RFC7223]. CoAP request: FETCH /c Content-Format(application/cool-instance-id-list+cbor) [[1534, "eth0"]] CoAP response: 2.05 Content Content-Format(application/cool-value+cbor) "Ethernet adaptor" Veillette, et al. Expires January 19, 2017 [Page 11]
Internet-Draft Constrained Objects Language July 2016 5.2.3. Example #3 - YANG list This "instance-identifier" extension allows the retrieval of all instances of a YANG list. To perform this operation, the CoOL client excludes from the 'instance-identifier' the key(s) of the targeted list. The list returned is encoded using the rules defined in [I-D.ietf-core-yang-cbor] section 4.4. In this example, a CoOL client retrieves the list "/interfaces/ interface" (SID 1533). The response returned contain two instances, one for an Ethernet adaptor and one for a WIFI interface. CoAP request: FETCH /c Content-Format(application/cool-instance-id-list+cbor) [1533] CoAP response: 2.05 Content Content-Format(application/cool-value+cbor) [ { +4 : "eth0", # name (SID 1537) +1 : "Ethernet adaptor", # description (SID 1534) +5 : 1179, # type (SID 1538), identity ethernetCsmacd +2 : true # enabled (SID 1535) }, { +4 : "wlan0", # name (SID 1537) +1 : "WIFI ", # description (SID 1534) +5 : 1220, # type (SID 1538), identity ieee80211 +2 : false # enabled (SID 1535) } ] 5.2.4. Example #4 - YANG list instance To retrieve a list instance, the CoOL client MUST use an 'instance- identifier' with a SID set to the targeted list and the key(s) set to the value(s) associated to the targeted instance. In this example, the CoOL client requests the instance of the list "/interfaces/interface" (SID 1533) associated to the name "eth0". The response returned by the CoOL server contains the targeted list instance formatted as YANG container. CoAP request: Veillette, et al. Expires January 19, 2017 [Page 12]
Internet-Draft Constrained Objects Language July 2016 FETCH /c Content-Format(application/cool-instance-id-list+cbor) [[1533, "eth0"]] CoAP response: 2.05 Content Content-Format(application/cool-value+cbor) { +4 : "eth0" # name (SID 1537) +1 : "Ethernet adaptor" # description (SID 1534) +5 : 1179 # type (SID 1538), identity ethernetCsmacd +2 : true # enabled (SID 1535) } 5.2.5. Example #5 - YANG list instance filtering This 'instance-identifier' extension allows the selection of a subset of data nodes within a list. This is accomplished by adding an extra element to the 'instance-identifier'. This element contains the subset of data nodes to be returned encoded as CBOR array. Each entry within this CBOR array is set to the delta between the current SID and the SID of targeted container as specified in the first entry of the 'instance-identifier'. CoOL servers SHOULD implement this 'instance-identifier' extension. When this extension is not supported, the CoOL server MUST ignore the third element of the 'instance-identifier' and return the list instance as specified by the first two elements of the 'instance- identifier'. In this example, a CoOL client retrieves from within the "/interfaces/interface" list (SID 1533) the leafs "/interfaces/interface/type" (SID 1538) and "/interfaces/interface/ enabled" (SID 1535). The CoOL client also includes in this request the selection of the leaf "/system/hostname" (SID 1748) defined in "ietf-system" [RFC7317]. For example: CoAP request: FETCH /c Content-Format(application/cool-instance-id-list+cbor) [ [1533, "eth0", [+5, +2]], +215] CoAP response: Veillette, et al. Expires January 19, 2017 [Page 13]

Example #6 - All instances of a data node within a YANG list This 'instance-identifier' extension allows the efficient transfer of all instances of a data node within a YANG list. To retrieve all instances, the CoOL client excludes form the 'instance-identifier' the key(s) of the list containing the targeted data node. The response MUST be encoded as a CBOR ARRAY containing the available instances of the requested data node. This special encoding minimizes significantly this commonly used type of request. In this example, a CoOL client retrieves all instances of data node "/interfaces/interface/name" (SID 1537). Example: CoAP request: FETCH /c Content-Format(application/cool-instance-id-list+cbor) [1537] CoAP response: 2.05 Content Content-Format(application/cool-value+cbor) ["eth0", "eth1", "wlan0"] 5.3. PUT - Updating all data nodes of a datastore The CoAP PUT method is used by CoOL clients to update the content of a datastore. The URI of the PUT request MUST be set to the URI of the targeted datastore. The payload of the PUT request MUST carry a CBOR array containing the new content of the datastore. The CBOR array MUST contain a list of pairs of delta and associated value. A delta represents the different between the current SID and the SID of the previous pair Veillette, et al. Expires January 19, 2017 [Page 14]
Internet-Draft Constrained Objects Language July 2016 within the CBOR array. Each value is encoded using the rules defined by [I-D.ietf-core-yang-cbor]. On successful processing of the CoAP request, the CoOL server MUST return a CoAP response with a response code 2.04 (Changed). A PUT request MUST be processed as an atomic transaction, if any of the data node transferred is rejected for any reason, the entire PUT request MUST be rejected and the CoOL server MUST return an appropriate error response as defined in section 6. Example: In this example, a CoOL client sets the default runtime datastore with these data nodes: o "/system/clock/timezone/timezone-utc-offset/timezone-utc-offset" (SID 1736) o "/system/ntp/enabled" (SID 1751) o "/system/ntp/server" (SID 1752) o "/system/ntp/server/name" (SID 1755) o "/system/ntp/server/prefer" (SID 1756) o "/system/ntp/server/transport/udp/udp" (SID 1757) o "/system/ntp/server/transport/udp/udp/address" (SID 1758) o "/system/ntp/server/transport/udp/udp/port" (SID 1759) CoAP request: Veillette, et al.

To modify a datastore, the CoOL client sends a CoAP PATH request to the URI of the targeted datastore. The payload of the FETCH request contains the list of data node instance(s) to be updated, inserted or deleted. This list is encoded using a CBOR array and contains a sequence of pairs of 'instance-identifier' and associated values. Within each 'instance-identifier', data nodes are identified using SIDs as defined by [I-D.somaraju-core-sid]. SIDs within the list are encoded as delta. On reception, the list is processed by the CoOL server as follows: o If the targeted data instance already exists, this instance is replaced by the associated value (not merged). To update only some children of a collection, each child data node MUST be provided individually. Veillette, et al. Expires January 19, 2017 [Page 16]
Internet-Draft Constrained Objects Language July 2016 o If the targeted data instance doesn't exist, this instance is created. o If the targeted data instance already exists but is associated with the value 'null', this instance is deleted. On successful processing of the CoAP request, the CoOL server MUST return a CoAP response with a response code 2.05 (Content). A iPATCH request MUST be processed as an atomic transaction, if any of the data nodes transferred is rejected for any reasons, the entire iPATCH request MUST be rejected and the CoOL server MUST return an appropriate error response as defined in section 6. Example: In this example, a CoOL client performs the following operations: o Set "/system/ntp/enabled" (SID 1751) to true. o Remove the server "tac.nrc.ca" from the"/system/ntp/server" (SID 1752) list. o Add the server "NTP Pool server 2" to the list "/system/ntp/ server" (SID 1752). o Set "/system/ntp/server/prefer" (SID 1756) to false for the server "tic.nrc.ca".

Internet-Draft Constrained Objects Language July 2016 2.04 Changed 5.5. POST - Protocol operation Protocol operations are defined using the YANG 'rpc' or YANG 'action' statements. To execute a protocol operation, the CoOL client sents a CoAP POST request to the URI of the targeted datastore. The payload of the POST request carries a CBOR array with up to two entries. The first entry carries the instance-identifier identifying the targeted protocol operation. The second entry carries the protocol operation input(s). Input(s) are present only if defined for the invoked protocol operation and used by the CoOL client. Input(s) are encoded using the rules defined for a YANG container, deltas are relative to the SID assigned to the protocol operation. On successful completion on the protocol operation, the CoOL server returns a CoAP response with the response code set to 2.05 (Content). When output parameters are returned by the CoOL server, these parameter(s) are carried in the CoAP response payload. Output(s) are encoded using the rules defined for a YANG container, deltas are relative to the SID assigned to the protocol operation. 5.5.1. Example #1 - RPC This example is based on the 'activate-software-image' RPC defined in [I-D.ietf-netmod-rfc6020bis], assuming that this RPC is assigned to SID 1932, leaf image-name to SID 1933 and leaf status to SID 1934. These SIDs are defined strictly for the purpose of this example. rpc activate-software-image { input { leaf image-name { type string; } } output { leaf status { type string; } } } CoAP request: POST /c Content-Format(application/cool-value-pairs+cbor) [ 1932, { +1 : "acmefw-2.3" # image-name (SID 1933) } ] CoAP response: Veillette, et al.

Event stream Veillette, et al. Expires January 19, 2017 [Page 19]
Internet-Draft Constrained Objects Language July 2016 WARNING This section requires more work to address the following identified issues: * Retrieval of past events (e.g. start-time, stop-time) * Retrieval of specific events (e.g. filter) * Configuration persistence * Configuration of by a third entity (configuration tool) * Support of multicast * Event congestion-avoidance * Transfer reliability The current solution based on the observe CoAP option can be augmented or completely replaced by a future version of this draft. Notifications are defined using the YANG 'notification' statement. Subscriptions to an event stream and notification reporting are performed using an event stream resource. When multiple event stream resources are supported, the list of notifications associated with each stream is either pre-defined or configured in the CoOL server. CoOL clients MAY subscribe to one or more event stream resources. To subscribe to an event stream resource, a CoOL client MUST send a CoAP GET with the Observe CoAP option set to 0. To unsubscribe, a CoOL client MAY send a CoAP reset or a CoAP GET with the Observe option set to 1. For more information on the observe mechanism, see [RFC7641]. Each notification transferred by a CoOL server to each of the registered CoOL clients is carried in a CoAP response with a response code set to 2.05 (Content). Each CoAP response MUST carry in its payload at least one notification but MAY carry multiple. Each notification is carried in a notification-payload defined in ietf- cool, see Appendix A. The notification-payload supports different meta-data associated to this notification, such as the notification identifier, event timestamp, sequence number, severity level and facility. All of these meta information are optional with the exception of the notification identifier. The CoAP response payload is encoded using the rules defined for the PUT request. When multiple notifications are reported, the CoAP response payload carries a CBOR array, with each entry containing a notification. This example is based on the 'link-failure' and 'interface-enabled' notifications defined in [I-D.ietf-netmod-rfc6020bis] assuming the following SID assignment: o "/link-failure" (SID 1942) Veillette, et al. Expires January 19, 2017 [Page 20]

Internet-Draft Constrained Objects Language July 2016 The CoOL server confirms this registration by returning a first CoAP response. The payload of this CoAP response may be empty or may carry the last notification reported by this server. CoAP response: 2.05 Content Observe(52) Token(0xD937) After detecting an event, the CoOL server sends its first notification to the registered CoOL client.

Internet-Draft Constrained Objects Language July 2016 6. Uri-Query 6.1. The 'a' Query Parameter When performing a GET, the normal behaviour of a CoOL server is to exclude from the GET response, data nodes currently set to their default values as defined by the YANG 'default' statement. This behaviour called 'trim' is defined in [RFC6243] section 3.2. This rule also applies to the FETCH for containers and list instances but not for the root data nodes. To minimize the payload size of the FETCH responses, root data nodes are returned in a CBOR array without associated SID. To keep the symmetry between the FETCH request and the FETCH response, a CBOR content must be returned for each data node requested as follows: o a CBOR simple type 'default' is returned for each data node currently set to its default value o a CBOR simple type 'undefined value' is returned for each data node not instantiated or not supported o otherwise, the value is encoded based on the rules defined in [I-D.ietf-core-yang-cbor] There are use-cases when a CoOL client will need the default data from the server, for example: o The management application often needs a single, definitive, and complete set of configuration values that determine how the networking device works. o Documentation about default values can be unreliable or unavailable. o Some management applications might not have the capabilities to correctly parse and interpret formal data models. o Human users might want to understand the received data without consultation of the documentation. In all these cases, the CoOL client will need a mechanism to retrieve default data from a CoOL server. This is accomplished by including the 'a' Uri-Query parameter in the GET or FETCH request. This behaviour called 'report-all' is defined in [RFC6243] section 3.1. Veillette, et al. Expires January 19, 2017 [Page 23]
Internet-Draft Constrained Objects Language July 2016 7. CoAP compatibility 7.1. Working with Uri-Host, Uri-Port, Uri-Path, and Uri-Query Supported Uri-Query parameters are defined in Section 6. Uri-Host, Uri-Port and Uri-Path MUST be used as specified by [RFC6690] to target the CoOL resources as defined by section 3. 7.2. Working with Location-Path and Location-Query This version of CoOL doesn't support the creation of resources (datastore or event stream). For this reason, the use of Location- Path and Location-Query is not required. 7.3. Working with Accept This option is not required since this protocol don't support multiple choices of Content-Format. 7.4. Working with Max-Age This option MUST be supported as specified by [RFC6690]. 7.5. Working with Proxy-Uri and Proxy-Scheme This option MUST be supported as specified by [RFC6690]. 7.6. Working with If-Match, If-None-Match and ETag This option MUST be supported as specified by [RFC6690]. Each ETag is associated to all schema nodes within a datastore. 7.7. Working with Size1, Size2, Block1 and Block2 When the UDP transport is used and a large payload need to be transferred, support of the CoAP block transfer as defined by [I-D.ietf-core-block] is recommended. 7.8. Working with Observe A CoOL server MAY support state change notifications to some or all its leaf data nodes. When supported the CoOL server MUST implement the Server-Side requirements defined in [RFC7641] section 3 and the CoOL client MUST implement the Client-Side requirements defined in [RFC7641] section 4. To start observing a leaf data node, a CoOL client MUST send a CoAP FETCH with the Observe CoAP option set to 0. Veillette, et al. Expires January 19, 2017 [Page 24]
Internet-Draft Constrained Objects Language July 2016 The payload of the FETCH request carries a CBOR array of instance- identifier. The first entry MUST be set to the 'instance-identifier' of the data node instance observed. The following entries are optional and allow the selection of coincidental values, data nodes reported at the same time as the observed data node. Coincidental values are included in each notification reported, but changes to these extra data nodes MUST not trigger notification messages. A subscription can be terminated by the CoOL client by returning a CoAP Reset message or by sending a GET request with an Observe CoAP option set to deregister (1). More details are available in [RFC7641]. Example: In this example, a CoOL client subscribes to state changes of the data node "/system/ntp/enabled" (SID = 1751) and requests that data node "/system/hostname" (SID 1748) is reported as coincidental value. A first response is immediately returned by the CoOL server to confirm the subscription and to report the current values of the requested data nodes. Subsequent responses are returned by the CoOL server each time the state of data node "/system/ntp/enabled" changes. CoAP request: FETCH /c Content-Format(application/cool-instance-id-list+cbor) Observe(0) [ [1751, "tic.nrc.ca"], -3 ] CoAP response: 2.05 Content Content-Format(application/cool-value-pairs+cbor) Observe(2631) [ false, # enabled (SID 1751) "tic" # hostname (SID 1748) ] CoAP response: 2.05 Content Content-Format(application/cool-value-pairs+cbor) Observe(2632) [ true, # enabled (SID 1751) "tic" # hostname (SID 1748) ] Veillette, et al.

Internet-Draft Constrained Objects Language July 2016 7.9. Working with resource discovery The "/.well-known/core" resource is used by CoOL clients to discover resources implemented by CoOL servers. Each CoOL server MUST have an entry in the "/.well-known/core" resource for each datastore resource and event stream resource supported. Resource discovery can be performed using a CoAP GET request. If successful, the CoAP response MUST have a response code set to 2.05 (Content), a Content-Format set to "application/link-format", and a payload containing a list of web links. To enable discovery of specific resource types, the CoAP server MUST support the query string "rt". Link format and the "/.well-known/core" resource are defined in [RFC6690]. Example: CoAP request: GET /.well-known/core CoAP response: 2.05 Content Content-Format(application/link-format) </c>;rt="cool.datastore", </c/r>;rt="cool.datastore", </c/b>;rt="cool.datastore", </c/e>;rt="cool.event-stream", In this example, a CoOL client retrieves the list of all resources available on a CoOL server. Alternatively, the CoOL client may query for a specific resource type. In this example, the CoOL client queries for resource type (rt) "cool.datastore". CoAP request: GET /.well-known/core?rt=cool.datastore CoAP response: 2.05 Content Content-Format(application/link-format) </c>;rt="cool.datastore", Veillette, et al. Expires January 19, 2017 [Page 26]
Internet-Draft Constrained Objects Language July 2016 8. Error Handling All CoAP response codes defined by [RFC7252] MUST be accepted and processed accordingly by CoOL clients. Optionally, client errors (CoAP response codes 4.xx) or server errors (CoAP response codes 5.xx) MAY have a payload providing further information about the cause of the error. This payload contains the "error-payload" container (SID 1007) defined in the "ietf-cool" YANG module, see Appendix A. Example: CoAP response: 4.00 Bad Request (Content-Format: application/cool-value-pairs+cbor) [ 1007 , { # error-payload (SID 1007) +1 : 2, # error-code (SID 1008) +2 : "Unknown data node 69687" # error-text (SID 1009) } ] 9. Security Considerations This application protocol relies on the lower layers to provide confidentiality, integrity, and availability. A typical approach to archive these requirements is to implement CoAP using the DTLS binding as defined in [RFC7252] section 9. Other approaches are possible to fulfill these requirements, such as the use of a network layer security mechanism as discussed in [I-D.bormann-core-ipsec-for-coap] or a link layer security mechanism for exchanges done within a single sub-network. In some applications, different access rights to objects (data nodes, protocol operations and notifications) need to be granted to different CoOL clients. Different solutions are possible, such as the implementation of Access Control Lists (ACL) using YANG module(s) or the use of an authorization certificate as defined in [RFC5755]. These access control mechanisms need to be addressed in complementary specifications. The Security Considerations section of CoAP [RFC7252] is especially relevant to this application protocol and should be reviewed carefully by implementers. Veillette, et al.
