Re: [cf-dev] Question about Multicast Implementation
|
Hi Kai,
thanks for the fast reply.
I am trying to implement a multicast DTLS communication as it is
explained in the draft:
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-keoh-dice-multicast-security-08
Best regards
Thorsten Rick
Zitat von "Hudalla Kai (INST/ESY1)" <Kai.Hudalla@xxxxxxxxxxxx>:
Hi Thorsten,
I am not completely sure about what you want to achieve. However, doing CoAP
multicast is currently only defined for UDP transpor.
RFC 7252, Section 8.1 states the following:
"At the time of writing, multicast messages can only be carried in UDP
not in DTLS. This means that the security modes defined for CoAP in
this document are not applicable to multicast."
As such, Californium does not support multicast over DTLS. It is supposed to
support multicast over UDP. I have to admit, though, that this is
not really my
area of expertise and my organization doesn't have any usecase based
on multicast
at the moment. There seems to be some interest in the community for doing
multicast, though, and there have been issues found with
Californium's multicast
implementation already [1].
All in all, I would say that Californium definitely strives for supporting
multicast (over UDP) but currently has some issues with it. So, if you feel
motivated to give us a hand, you would be more than welcome to e.g.
continue the
work started in [1].

Hi list,
I have a question about a basic multicast CoAp DTLS implementation.
I am currently working on a proof-of-concept for my Masterthesis by
using a CoAp DTLS PSK implementation.
I have been able to successfully implement a basic secure unicast
communication, but for a few days I have been trying to implement a
multicast communication without a result. My question is whether in
the current version a multicast solution is possible at all and if so
if someone has an exemplary implementation.
Thanks in advance
T. Rick
