General

Branch CoAP supports CoAP in ns-3. This branch of ns3 is linked to libcoap with interface for ns3. New modules in ns3 implementing CoAP support are:

  • coap-client-server-helper
  • coap-client
  • coap-server
  • coap-pdu

wscript of the applications module links libcoap library to ns3 upon ns3 configuration. Configuration of ns3 is not possible without working instalation of libcoap library from the repository https://github.com/asljivo1/libcoap.
