Re: [core] TSV-ART review of draft-ietf-core-coap-tcp-tls-07

Hi,

The question is not very different from the UDP to UDP proxying case.
Something is different.

If a request came in via a UDP CON (which is the equivalent of using a reliable transport protocol),
should the proxy use CON or NON for the forwarded request?
If it keeps the semantics end-to-end,  the proxy just forwards the message.
If it has the semantics hop-by-hop, the proxy can decide what type of message to transfer.

I’d say, in both cases, CON should be the default way of forwarding the reliable request. But there may be specific cases where a NON may be appropriate — CoAP does not provide the client with a way to control the proxy here.

Is that a problem?  Tell me more about your use case.
