Experimental evaluation of congestion control for CoAP communications without end-to-end reliability

The Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP) has been designed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) for Internet of Things (IoT) communications. CoAP is a lightweight, request/response-based RESTful protocol that has been tailored to ful ll the requisites of IoT environments, such as severel...
