[core] "Too Many Requests Response Code for CoAP" draft (draft-keranen-core-too-many-reqs-00)

[Ari Keränen <[e-mail]>]

Hi all,

I submitted a new draft about the "Too Many Requests" CoAP Response Code (see details below). This was part of the CoAP pub/sub draft before, but as discussed in the previous meeting, there's also more wider use for this response code so it makes sense to have a separate draft about it.

While thinking about the details, I did realize that we may want to also define ways for the server to indicate what kind of requests are OK, or not OK. However, that topic may also be applicable beyond this Response Code so I didn't yet put any details here, just TBD markers. Perhaps that's also something to discuss at the London meeting.


Cheers,
Ari

> Abstract:
>   A Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP) server can experience
>   temporary overload because one or more clients are sending requests
>   to the server at a higher rate than the server is capable or willing
>   to handle.  This document defines a new CoAP Response Code for a
>   server to indicate that a client should reduce the rate of requests.
