Hi CORE WG,

We met a problem with the specification of "join-proxy" used for the 
BRSKI protocol in ANIMA,

The join-proxy provides the connection between a new device (called 
pledge) and the registrar that authorizes the access to the network
for the pledge.
The join-proxy is an authorized node that can route messages to the 
Registrar.
The join-proxy also provides coap services on the network.
The pledge has only link-local acccess to a neighbour join-proxy

The pledge sends a link-local DTLS coap request to a resource on the 
join-proxy accessable via a non-coap port on the join-proxy.
The join-proxy copies the messages received on that port and sends them 
on to a non-standard discoverable port of the Registrar.
The join-proxy resources on the join-proxy are discoverable with  rt= 
brski_xxx

The pledge discovers the join-proxy resources and their non-standard 
port with coap discovery.

The protocol between join-proxy and Registrar is not coaps but an UDP 
protocol that forwards the coaps messages to the Registrar.
However, the join-proxy discovers the Registrar port by discovering a 
related coap resource and its port on the Registrar with rt = brski-yyy

Question:
Is this a legitimate use of coap discovery to discover the non-standard 
ports on join proxy and Registrar?

thanks for comments, or suggestions,

Peter
