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 in real deployments.
