Hello CoRE WG,

for quite some time, we have been investigating information-centric
networking (ICN) approaches (mainly CCNx [1], NDN [2]) for use in
constrained IoT setups.

ICN deployments reveal synergistic effects that increase the reliability
in low-power, lossy networks and reduce network resource demands due to
their (i) stateful forwarding fabric, (ii) on-path caching, (iii)
hop-wise retransmissions, and (iv) content object security properties.

While we formerly argued for an IoT based on CCNx or NDN, we are now
revisiting another idea.  We teamed up with Christian Amsüss and
discovered that CoAP already supports many features to construct an IoT
of data-centric nature; and it replicates the very same ICN performance
benefits [3,4] using a pure CoAP deployment with its proxy, caching, and
OSCORE capabilities.

We regularly report our findings to the ICN community (e.g., at ICNRG
[5]) and we think that this particular work might also be of interest to
CoRE.  The attached -00 draft is a condensed rundown on the topic .. and
if there is interest, then we would gladly discuss more on the mailing
list, or in form of a presentation in a next meeting slot; if agenda
permits.

Cheers,
Cenk Gündoğan
