Hi,

Note that endpoint can refer to both source and destination, being and IP:port in its simplest form: 
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7252#page-6 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7252#page-6> 

The fact that LWM2M swaps those role names might actually add to the confusion, probably OMA LWM2M should be the one changing the terminology as the device is mostly a “server” hosting resources and only is a “client” during bootstrapping and registration. We could have used terms like “servient” instead but it might be too late for that.

Ciao!
