6. RD Lookup Function Set 6. Group Function Set
This section defines a function set for the creation of groups of
endpoints for the purpose of managing and looking up endpoints for
group operations. The group function set is similar to the resource
directory function set, in that a group may be created or removed.
However unlike an endpoint entry, a group entry consists of a list of
endpoints and does not have a lifetime associated with it. In order
to make use of multicast requests with CoAP, a group MAY have a
multicast address associated with it.
6.1. Register a Group
In order to create a group, a management entity used to configure
groups, makes a request to the RD indicating the name of the group to
create (or update), the optional domain the group belongs to, and the
optional multicast address of the group. The registration message
includes the list of endpoints that belong to that group. If an
endpoint has already registered with the RD, the RD attempts to use
the context of the endpoint from its RD endpoint entry. If the
client registering the group knows the endpoint has already
registered, then it MAY send a blank target URI for that endpoint
link when registering the group.
The registration request interface is specified as follows:
Interaction: Manager -> RD
Method: POST
URI Template: /{+rd-group}{?gp,d,con}
URI Template Variables:
rd-group := RD Group Function Set path (mandatory). This is the
path of the RD Group Function Set. An RD SHOULD use the value
"rd-group" for this variable whenever possible.
gp := Group Name (mandatory). The name of the group to be
created or replaced, unique within that domain. The maximum
length of this parameter is 63 bytes.
d := Domain (optional). The domain to which this group belongs.
The maximum length of this parameter is 63 bytes. Optional.
When this parameter is elided, the RD MAY associate the
endpoint with a configured default domain.
con := Context (optional). This parameter is used to set the IP
multicast address at which this server is available in the form
scheme://multicast-address:port. Optional. In the absence of
this parameter no multicast address is configured.
Content-Type: application/link-format
The following response codes are defined for this interface:
Success: 2.01 "Created". The Location header MUST be included with
the new group entry. This Location MUST be a stable identifier
generated by the RD as it is used for delete operations on this
registration.
Failure: 4.00 "Bad Request". Malformed request.
Failure: 5.03 "Service Unavailable". Service could not perform the
operation.
The following example shows a group with the name "lights"
registering two endpoints to an RD using this interface. The
resulting location /rd-group/12 is just an example of an RD generated
group location.
EP RD
| |
| - POST /rd-group?gp=lights "<>;ep=node1..." --> |
| |
| |
| <---- 2.01 Created Location: /rd-group/12 ---- |
| |
Req: POST coap://rd.example.com/rd-group?gp=lights
Payload:
<>;ep="node1",
<>;ep="node2"
Res: 2.01 Created
Location: /rd-group/12
6.2. Group Removal
A group can be removed simply by sending a removal message to the
location returned when registering the group. Removing a group MUST
NOT remove the endpoints of the group from the RD.
The removal request interface is specified as follows:
Interaction: Manager -> RD
Method: DELETE
URI Template: /{+location}
URI Template Variables:
location := This is the Location path returned by the RD as a
result of a successful group registration.
The following responses codes are defined for this interface:
Success: 2.02 "Deleted" upon successful deletion
Failure: 4.00 "Bad Request". Malformed request.
Failure: 5.03 "Service Unavailable". Service could not perform the
operation.
The following examples shows successful removal of the group from the
RD.
EP RD

| --- DELETE /rd-group/412 -------------------> |

| |
| <-- 2.02 Deleted ---------------------------- |

7. RD Lookup Function Set

Multiple query parameters MAY be included in a lookup, all included
parameters MUST match for a resource to be returned. The character
'*' MAY be included at the end of a parameter value as a wildcard
operator.
The lookup interface is specified as follows: The lookup interface is specified as follows:
