9About libcoap
10=============

12libcoap is a C implementation of a lightweight application-protocol
13for devices that are constrained their resources such as computing
14power, RF range, memory, bandwidth, or network packet sizes. This
15protocol, CoAP, is standardized by the IETF as RFC 7252. For further
16information related to CoAP, see <http://coap.technology>.
