1236.3 Quiz: CoAP Fundamentals

Test your understanding of CoAP protocol with these auto-gradable multiple-choice questions:

Question 1: You’re building a battery-powered outdoor weather station that sends temperature readings every 5 minutes. The occasional lost reading is acceptable. Which CoAP message type should you use?

Explanation: Non-Confirmable (NON) messages are optimal for this scenario because they provide 50% energy savings compared to CON messages. NON messages don’t require acknowledgments, reducing energy cost from ~3 mJ to ~1.5 mJ per message. For frequent, non-critical sensor readings (every 5 minutes), this doubles battery life while maintaining acceptable data quality. The occasional lost reading is acceptable since weather data is frequently updated. Use CON only for critical data like alarms or configuration changes that must be delivered.

Question 2: For transmitting a small payload “temp: 23.5 C” (6 bytes), approximately how much bandwidth does CoAP save compared to HTTP?

Explanation: CoAP uses 86.7% fewer bytes than HTTP for small payloads. CoAP total: 22 bytes (4-byte header + 4-byte token + 7 bytes options + 1-byte payload marker + 6 bytes payload). HTTP total: 165 bytes (71 bytes request + 88 bytes response + 6 bytes payload). This massive reduction comes from CoAP’s minimal 4-byte binary header vs HTTP’s verbose text-based headers. For a 100-sensor network sending data every 60 seconds, this translates to monthly savings of $5.81 in data costs, scaling to $5,810/month for 10,000 sensors!

Question 3: CoAP’s Observe pattern provides what primary advantage over HTTP polling?

Explanation: CoAP’s Observe pattern provides 99% energy savings compared to HTTP polling. With Observe, the client registers once (GET with Observe: 0), then the server pushes updates only when data changes. In a 24-hour period with sensor updates every 5 minutes and HTTP polling every 30 seconds: HTTP polling sends 2,880 requests using 86,400 mJ energy, while CoAP Observe sends 289 messages using only 723.5 mJ. Additionally, Observe provides instant updates (0s latency) vs HTTP’s average 15-second staleness, and reduces bandwidth by 98.4% (7.4 KB vs 464.1 KB).

Question 4: What is CoAP’s minimum header size, and why is it significant?

Explanation: CoAP’s 4-byte minimum header is a 25x reduction compared to HTTP’s 100+ byte headers. This minimal header is crucial for IoT because: (1) Battery life - smaller packets mean less transmission time and energy, (2) Constrained networks - low-bandwidth networks like LoRaWAN benefit from compact protocols, (3) Cost - in cellular IoT, every byte costs money over time, (4) Latency - smaller packets transmit faster. The 4-byte header contains: version (2 bits), type (2 bits), token length (4 bits), code (8 bits), and message ID (16 bits).

Question 5: Which transport protocol does CoAP use, and why?

Explanation: CoAP uses UDP (User Datagram Protocol) for several critical reasons: (1) No connection setup - TCP requires a 3-way handshake that wastes energy and time, (2) Lower overhead - UDP has an 8-byte header vs TCP’s 20+ bytes, (3) Simpler implementation - UDP doesn’t maintain connection state, reducing memory requirements on constrained devices, (4) Better for intermittent communication - IoT sensors typically send brief messages, making TCP’s persistent connections wasteful. CoAP implements its own reliability layer on top of UDP through CON/ACK messages, giving applications control over when reliability is needed.

Question 6: What is the primary difference between CoAP and MQTT?

Explanation: The fundamental difference is architectural pattern: CoAP uses request/response (like HTTP) where clients directly request resources from servers, while MQTT uses publish/subscribe where publishers send to topics and subscribers receive without direct connection. Choose CoAP when: (1) You need direct device-to-device communication, (2) RESTful API compatibility is important, (3) Multicast discovery is useful, (4) No broker infrastructure is available. Choose MQTT when: (1) Multiple subscribers need the same data, (2) Publishers/subscribers should be decoupled, (3) Quality of Service guarantees are critical, (4) Persistent sessions are needed. Both protocols complement each other in IoT ecosystems.

Question 7: What is the IPv6 multicast address for CoAP all-nodes?

Explanation: FF0X::FD is CoAP’s designated IPv6 multicast address (where X represents the multicast scope: 1=interface-local, 2=link-local, 5=site-local, etc.). Multicast allows one message to reach multiple devices simultaneously, which is invaluable for: (1) Device discovery - find all CoAP devices on the network without knowing their addresses, (2) Group commands - send “all lights off” to multiple devices with one packet, (3) Efficient queries - request sensor readings from all temperature sensors at once. Example: coap://[FF02::FD]/sensor/temperature queries all link-local temperature sensors. This is far more efficient than unicast polling each device individually.

Question 8: When should you use Confirmable (CON) messages instead of Non-Confirmable (NON)?

Explanation: Use Confirmable (CON) messages when delivery confirmation is essential: (1) Critical commands - door locks, emergency stops, safety systems where failure could cause harm, (2) Alarms/alerts - fire alarms, intrusion detection, medical alerts that must be received, (3) Configuration changes - firmware updates, parameter changes that must complete successfully, (4) Infrequent important events - occupancy detection, access control decisions. Use NON messages for: (1) Frequent sensor readings (temperature every 30s), (2) Streaming data where occasional loss is acceptable, (3) Battery-powered devices prioritizing longevity. The trade-off: CON uses 2x energy but guarantees delivery; NON uses 50% less energy but accepts possible loss.

Question 9: What security protocol does CoAP use for encryption?

Explanation: CoAP uses DTLS (Datagram Transport Layer Security), which is TLS adapted for UDP. DTLS provides: (1) Encryption - AES-128/256 cipher suites protect data confidentiality, (2) Authentication - Pre-shared keys (PSK) or certificates verify device identity, (3) Integrity - Message authentication codes detect tampering, (4) Replay protection - Sequence numbers prevent replay attacks. DTLS is essential because standard TLS only works with TCP’s reliable stream, while CoAP uses UDP’s unreliable datagrams. The URI scheme changes from coap:// to coaps:// when DTLS is enabled. Despite being lightweight, DTLS adds ~50 bytes overhead per message and requires additional computation, so balance security needs with resource constraints.

Question 10: What is CoAP’s block-wise transfer feature used for?

Explanation: Block-wise transfer (RFC 7959) splits large payloads into smaller blocks for transmission over constrained networks. This is critical because: (1) MTU limitations - some networks (IEEE 802.15.4) have ~100-byte maximum packet sizes, (2) Memory constraints - devices may not have RAM to buffer large messages, (3) Reliability - smaller blocks are more likely to succeed in lossy networks, (4) Firmware updates - enable over-the-air updates by transferring firmware in manageable chunks. Example: A 10 KB firmware image is split into 128-byte blocks, each transferred separately. The Block1 option handles upload (POST/PUT), while Block2 handles download (GET). This allows constrained IoT devices to handle payloads much larger than their available memory or network MTU.

Question 11: What does CoAP’s .well-known/core resource provide?

Explanation: .well-known/core is CoAP’s standardized resource discovery endpoint (RFC 6690) that returns a list of all available resources on a CoAP server. When you send GET coap://device/.well-known/core, you receive a response like: </sensors/temp>;rt="temperature";if="sensor",</lights/living>;rt="light";if="actuator". This enables: (1) Auto-discovery - clients can find available services without prior configuration, (2) Resource types - the rt parameter describes what the resource does, (3) Interfaces - the if parameter describes how to interact with it, (4) Attributes - additional metadata like units, ranges, or update frequencies. This is analogous to browsing a website’s sitemap or using REST API documentation, but machine-readable for automated IoT device integration.

Question 12: In CoAP’s Observe pattern, what message does a client send to stop receiving notifications?

Explanation: To deregister from CoAP Observe notifications, the client sends an RST (Reset) message in response to a notification. The Observe pattern workflow: (1) Registration - Client sends GET /temp with Observe: 0 option, (2) Initial response - Server responds with current value and Observe sequence number, (3) Notifications - Server pushes updates when value changes (CON or NON messages with incrementing sequence numbers), (4) Deregistration - Client sends RST to stop notifications, or server times out after no ACKs. Alternatively, client can send GET with Observe: 1 (deregister). The RST method is preferred because it’s immediate and works even if the client has lost state. This prevents servers from continuing to send unwanted notifications, conserving network bandwidth and server resources.

1236.4 Scenario-Based Knowledge Checks

Apply your CoAP knowledge to understand the WHY behind protocol choices:

Scenario 1: Your battery-powered soil sensor needs to send moisture readings to a gateway every 10 minutes for 5 years. You’re choosing between CoAP over UDP and MQTT over TCP. Which is better and why?

Explanation: CoAP over UDP is ideal for battery-powered periodic sensors due to eliminated TCP overhead. Power analysis: MQTT/TCP connection: 3-way handshake (3 packets), maintain keepalive (every 60s), teardown (4-way FIN). Every 10-min transmission: connect (150ms, 30mA) + publish (50ms, 20mA) + disconnect (100ms, 25mA) = 300ms @ 25mA avg = 2.08mAh/day. CoAP/UDP: No connection setup. Send CON message (10ms, 20mA), receive ACK (10ms, 15mA) = 20ms @ 17.5mA avg = 0.12mAh/day (17x less power). Over 5 years: MQTT = 3.8Ah (needs 4x AA batteries), CoAP = 0.22Ah (single CR2032 coin cell sufficient).

Scenario 2: You send 100 CoAP NON (Non-Confirmable) temperature readings per hour from 50 sensors (5,000 messages/hour). Suddenly, you notice 10-15% packet loss. Network admin reports no congestion. What’s the likely cause?

Explanation: NON messages have no reliability mechanism - inherent tradeoff for reduced overhead. UDP is “fire-and-forget” - if network drops packet (congestion, interference, routing error), it’s gone forever. 10-15% loss is high but not unexpected in constrained wireless networks (Wi-Fi contention, Zigbee interference, LoRa collisions). Solution - Use CON messages: CoAP Confirmable messages require ACK. If ACK not received within timeout (2-4 seconds, exponential backoff), sender retransmits up to 4 times. This reduces loss from 10% to <0.1%. Tradeoffs: CON messages: 2x bandwidth (request + ACK), longer latency (wait for ACK), higher power (keep radio on longer). NON messages: 1x bandwidth, minimal latency, lower power.

Scenario 3: Your smart building has 200 temperature sensors. Management wants to query all sensors simultaneously: “What’s everyone’s current temperature?” Which CoAP feature enables efficient one-to-many querying?

Explanation: CoAP multicast enables one-to-many communication using UDP multicast addresses. IPv6 multicast: All-CoAP-Nodes group FF02::FD (link-local) or FF05::FD (site-local). Single GET request reaches all sensors on subnet. Example: coap://[FF02::FD]/temperature?floor=3 -> All sensors on floor 3 respond with temperature. Efficiency: 1 multicast query vs 200 unicast queries = 200x bandwidth reduction. Sending device: 1 packet (50 bytes, 10ms). Receiving: 200 responses (10kB total, but staggered over 1-2 seconds to avoid collision).

Scenario 4: You implement CoAP Observe to monitor a sensor’s temperature. After initial GET with Observe option, you receive updates every 30 seconds as expected. After 10 minutes, updates stop arriving even though sensor is still running. What happened?

Explanation: NAT/firewall UDP port mapping timeouts are a common issue with stateless protocols. Problem: (1) Client sends GET with Observe to sensor through NAT/firewall, (2) NAT creates mapping: client_internal_port -> sensor_public_ip:port, (3) Sensor sends responses to mapped port, (4) NAT has UDP timeout (typically 30-300 seconds), (5) After timeout without traffic, NAT removes mapping, (6) Sensor continues sending responses but to stale mapping -> packets dropped by NAT. Solutions: (1) Periodic refresh: Client sends new GET+Observe every 5 minutes (before timeout), keeps NAT mapping alive, (2) Use CON messages: Sensor sends Observe responses as CON (requires ACK) - bidirectional traffic maintains NAT.

Scenario 5: Your firmware update system needs to transfer 256KB image to constrained devices over CoAP. The network MTU is 1280 bytes (IPv6 minimum). What CoAP feature handles large payloads?

Explanation: Block-wise transfer (RFC 7959) enables efficient large payload transmission over CoAP without violating constrained network MTU. How it works: (1) Client requests firmware: GET /firmware/v2.bin, (2) Server responds with Block2 option: “Here’s block 0 of 256, more blocks available”, includes first 1024 bytes, (3) Client requests next block: GET /firmware/v2.bin with Block2 option “Give me block 1”, (4) Repeat until all blocks transferred (256KB / 1KB = 256 blocks). Reliability: Combine with CON messages - if block lost, client retries that specific block (not entire 256KB).

Scenario 6: You need to secure CoAP communication for a medical IoT device transmitting patient vitals. Which security approach is appropriate?

Explanation: CoAPs (CoAP Secure) uses DTLS (Datagram TLS) - UDP equivalent of TLS providing encryption, authentication, and integrity. DTLS features: (1) Encryption: AES-128-CCM or AES-128-GCM (same as TLS 1.3), (2) Authentication: X.509 certificates (PKI) or Pre-Shared Keys (PSK), (3) Integrity: HMAC prevents tampering, (4) Replay protection: Sequence numbers prevent replay attacks. CoAPs URL: coaps://sensor.local:5684/vitals (port 5684 vs 5683 for plain CoAP). Why alternatives fail: (A) HTTPS/TLS requires TCP (higher power), (B) Application-layer encryption misses metadata protection (URL, method visible), (D) WPA2 only protects Wi-Fi hop - unencrypted on backend network.

Scenario 7: Your CoAP server receives requests from 100 clients. You notice Message ID collisions causing response mismatches. What’s wrong and how do you fix it?

Explanation: CoAP uses both Message ID (MID) and Token for different purposes. Message ID (16-bit): Used for duplicate detection and matching ACK to CON message within single client-server conversation. Client generates, 0-65535 range, collision across different clients is fine. Token (0-8 bytes): Used for matching response to request, especially with Observe (multiple responses to single request). Client-generated, should be unique across all active requests. Your problem: Using MID to match responses, but with 100 clients: Client A (MID=1234) and Client B (MID=1234) send requests simultaneously. Server responses with MID=1234 confuse clients. Correct matching: Always use Token, not MID.

Scenario 8: You’re designing a CoAP-based smart agriculture system. Sensors report soil moisture; actuators control irrigation valves. What’s the BEST request/response mapping?

Explanation: CoAP follows REST principles - use HTTP methods semantically for resource manipulation. Correct mapping: (1) GET /sensor/soil1/moisture: Read current moisture level (idempotent, no side effects), returns {"value": 35, "unit": "percent"}, (2) PUT /valve/zone2/state: Set valve state to specific value {"state": "open"} (idempotent), (3) POST /irrigation/schedule: Create new irrigation schedule (not idempotent), returns location of created resource, (4) DELETE /irrigation/schedule/123: Remove schedule. Why RESTful matters: (1) Cacheability: GET responses can be cached (CoAP Max-Age option), (2) Idempotency: PUT can be retried safely, (3) Interoperability: Standard REST clients can interact via HTTP-CoAP proxy.

Scenario 9: Your CoAP sensor sends temperature updates every 30 seconds using Observe. Network link has 5% packet loss. Client sometimes misses 3-4 consecutive updates. How can you improve reliability without switching to TCP?

Explanation: CON messages provide reliability without TCP overhead. Default Observe: Server sends notifications as NON (Non-Confirmable) for efficiency. With 5% loss, probability of losing 3 consecutive updates: 0.05^3 = 0.0125% per sequence, but over hours/days this happens frequently. Solution - CON Observe: coapServer.setObserveType(CoAP.MessageType.CON);. Server sends notification as CON, waits for ACK. If no ACK within 2 seconds: retransmit (exponential backoff: 2s, 4s, 8s, 16s). After 4 attempts (total 30s), give up and mark observation as failed. Reliability calculation: Single transmission success: 95%. With 4 retries: 1 - (0.05)^4 = 99.99994% success.

Scenario 10: You discover your CoAP temperature sensor’s battery drains 10x faster when actively observed vs when idle. Profiling shows radio is ON 80% of time during observations. What’s the optimization?

Explanation: Conditional/smart Observe dramatically reduces unnecessary transmissions when sensor value stable. Problem: Temperature changes slowly (plus or minus 0.1C per minute in stable environment). Sending updates every 30s transmits same value repeatedly. Solution - Change detection: Only send if changed >= 0.5C OR 5 minutes elapsed. Results: In stable environment (plus or minus 1C per hour): Without filtering: 120 transmissions/hour, 50mAh/hour. With 0.5C threshold: ~6 transmissions/hour (when temp changes), 2.5mAh/hour (20x improvement). Benefits: (1) Reduced bandwidth, (2) Lower power (95% savings), (3) Meaningful data (client only receives significant changes), (4) Longer battery life (months to years).

Scenario 11: Your CoAP gateway serves 1000+ constrained devices. You implement resource discovery via GET /.well-known/core but responses timeout. What’s the issue?

Explanation: Resource discovery responses can exceed UDP MTU, causing fragmentation or loss. Typical resource directory: Each device advertises 3-5 resources. 1000 devices x 4 resources x 100 bytes/resource = 400KB response. Single CoAP response limited by UDP MTU (1280-1500 bytes typically). Solution 1 - Link-format filtering: Client requests subset: GET /.well-known/core?rt=temperature returns only temperature sensors (100 devices x 100 bytes = 10KB). Solution 2 - Block-wise transfer: Enable Block2 option for /.well-known/core response. Solution 3 - Resource Directory (RD) server: Use RFC 9176 for centralized discovery.

Scenario 12: You need to choose between CoAP and MQTT for a new IoT project. The application requires 500 battery-powered sensors reporting to centralized server, with occasional commands sent back to sensors. Which factors favor CoAP?

Explanation: Protocol selection depends on communication patterns. Your use case (sensor to server + occasional commands): CoAP request-response model is natural fit. Sensor: POST coap://server/warehouse/zone1/temp {"value": 24.5} every 10 minutes. Server: PUT /sensor/123/config {"interval": 30} to adjust sampling. CoAP advantages: (1) Power: UDP eliminates TCP handshake (saves 150ms @ 30mA per transmission = 1.25mAh per upload). Over 1 year (52,560 uploads): 66Ah savings per sensor, (2) Simplicity: No broker (single point of failure eliminated), direct sensor-server communication, standard RESTful API, (3) Memory: CoAP stack 3KB ROM vs MQTT 15-20KB. When MQTT wins: (1) Pub-sub patterns: Multiple subscribers to same sensor data, (2) Cloud integration: AWS IoT Core, Azure IoT Hub have native MQTT support, (3) Offline messaging: MQTT broker queues messages for offline subscribers.

1236.5 Understanding Check: Protocol Design Decisions

Situation: You’re architecting communication for 50 battery-powered soil moisture sensors that report readings every 10 minutes.

Protocol options:

  • CoAP over UDP: No connection setup, 4-byte header, stateless
  • HTTP over TCP: 3-way handshake, 100+ byte headers, stateful connection

Think about:

  1. What happens every time an HTTP sensor wants to send a 6-byte moisture reading?
  2. How much time and energy is spent on TCP connection setup vs actual data transmission?
  3. Why is UDP’s “unreliable” nature actually acceptable for this use case?

Key Insight:

TCP Connection overhead:

Setup: SYN -> SYN-ACK -> ACK (150ms, 1.25mAh)
Data: Request + Response (100 bytes each)
Teardown: FIN-ACK, FIN-ACK (100ms, 0.5mAh)
Total per reading: ~400ms, 2mAh

UDP (CoAP) overhead:

No setup: Immediate send (0ms setup)
Data: CON request + ACK (22 bytes total)
Total per reading: ~20ms, 0.11mAh

For 10-minute readings over 1 year:

  • HTTP: 52,560 readings x 2mAh = 105Ah (needs 10x AA batteries!)
  • CoAP: 52,560 readings x 0.11mAh = 5.8Ah (single CR2032 sufficient)

18x energy savings by eliminating connection overhead!

Verify Your Understanding:

  • Can you explain when TCP’s reliability guarantees ARE worth the overhead cost?
  • For which IoT applications would you still choose HTTP over CoAP?
  • How does CoAP achieve reliability (when needed) without TCP?

Situation: You’re transmitting 1 million sensor readings per day across your IoT network. Each reading is 6 bytes (temperature value).

Compare protocols:

  • HTTP: ~165 bytes per transaction (headers + data)
  • CoAP: ~22 bytes per transaction (4-byte header + options + data)

Think about:

  1. How much bandwidth does each protocol consume for 1 million readings?
  2. What’s the cost impact if using cellular data ($10/GB)?
  3. Why is CoAP’s 4-byte header considered “minimal”?

Key Insight:

Bandwidth calculation:

HTTP:

Per reading: 165 bytes (headers) + 6 bytes (data) = 171 bytes
1 million readings: 171 MB/day
Monthly: 5.1 GB
Annual cost ($10/GB): $612

CoAP:

Per reading: 16 bytes (header + options) + 6 bytes (data) = 22 bytes
1 million readings: 22 MB/day
Monthly: 0.66 GB
Annual cost ($10/GB): $79

Savings: $533/year per million messages = 87% bandwidth reduction!

Why 4-byte header matters:

CoAP header breakdown:
- Version (2 bits)
- Type (2 bits): CON/NON/ACK/RST
- Token Length (4 bits): 0-8 bytes
- Code (8 bits): Method (GET/POST) or response (2.05 Content)
- Message ID (16 bits): Duplicate detection

Total: 32 bits = 4 bytes (vs HTTP's 100+ byte text headers)

For 10,000-sensor deployment:

  • HTTP monthly data: 510 GB -> $5,100/month
  • CoAP monthly data: 66 GB -> $660/month
  • Savings: $4,440/month = $53,280/year!

Situation: You have 100 temperature sensors distributed across a building. You want to query “What’s everyone’s current temperature?” without knowing their individual IP addresses.

Traditional approach (unicast):

For each sensor IP in [192.168.1.10 ... 192.168.1.110]:
    Send: GET coap://192.168.1.X/temp
    Receive: 23.5C
Total: 100 requests x 50ms = 5 seconds

Think about:

  1. How could you reduce 100 individual requests to a single message?
  2. What IPv6 feature allows one packet to reach multiple destinations?
  3. How do sensors avoid all responding simultaneously (collision)?

Key Insight:

CoAP Multicast (FF0X::FD):

Single request: GET coap://[FF02::FD]/temp
All sensors on link receive request
Each adds random delay (0-1000ms) before responding
Collect responses over 2-second window

Result: 1 request -> 100 responses (staggered)
Time: ~2 seconds (vs 5 seconds unicast)
Bandwidth: 22 bytes sent (vs 2200 bytes unicast)

Multicast addressing:

  • FF02::FD: Link-local (same network segment)
  • FF05::FD: Site-local (entire building/campus)
  • Scope controls propagation distance

Use cases:

  1. Device discovery: Find all CoAP devices: GET coap://[FF02::FD]/.well-known/core
  2. Group commands: Turn off all lights: POST coap://[FF05::FD]/lights {"state": "off"}
  3. Network diagnostics: Query all devices for status, firmware version

Limitations:

  • Responses may collide (5-10% loss with 100 devices)
  • No guaranteed delivery (multicast + UDP = best-effort)
  • Doesn’t scale beyond ~1000 devices (response flood)
