The presence of Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP) proxies may
lead to infinite forwarding loops, which is undesirable. To prevent
and detect such loops, this document specifies the Hop-Limit CoAP
option.

This document is a product of the Constrained RESTful Environments Working Group of the IETF.

This is now a Proposed Standard.

STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet Standards Track
protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions
for improvements.  Please refer to the current edition of the Official
Internet Protocol Standards (https://www.rfc-editor.org/standards) for the 
standardization state and status of this protocol.  Distribution of this 
memo is unlimited.
