Abstract

Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP) has been developed as an alternative to the HyperText Transfer protocol (HTTP) to connect resource-limited devices to the Web. In addition to technical advantages, the success of Internet protocols depends also on their economic feasibility for the stakeholders involved in protocol deployment. Therefore, this paper studies the techno-economic feasibility of CoAP by applying a methodological framework. Based on literature review and nine expert interviews, the paper identifies potential deployment challenges of CoAP and suggests solutions to them. The results can be used to facilitate the deployment of CoAP and to guide the potential adopters in decision-making.
