FYI. I'd be interested in discussing the ideas in this draft with the WG.

> The Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP) is a simple, low- 
> overhead, UDP-based protocol for use with resource-constrained IP 
> networks and nodes. CoAP defines a simple technique to individually 
> retransmit lost messages, but has no other congestion control 
> mechanisms. This document motivates the need for additional 
> congestion control mechanisms, and defines some simple strawman 
> proposals. The goal is to encourage experimentation with these and 
> other proposals, in order to determine which mechanisms are feasible 
> to implement on resource-constrained nodes and are effective real 
> deployments.
