Abstract:
A CoAP resource directory discovers, and creates a map of, autonomic nodes that meet certain security criteria for joining an autonomic control plane. The resource directory shares the map and/or neighbor relationships with the mapped nodes. The mapped nodes interact with the RD and with each other via the autonomic control plane to perform autonomic node and network self-management functions, such as self-configuration, self-protection, self-healing, and self-optimization. In addition, a CoAP option allows the autonomic control plane to be used for alternative routing of critical messages. The autonomic control plane may be observed and adjusted using a graphical user interface.

Claim (Index 11):
A method performed by an apparatus of a CoAP communications network, the method comprising:\n a. performing a first autonomic network or node management function; b. storing and accessing at least a portion of a map of an autonomic control plane, the map of the autonomic control plane comprising one or more addresses of network nodes belonging to a confirmed group of CoAP nodes with sufficient security credentials to participate with each other in more or more autonomic control functions; and c. transmitting an autonomic control plane message to a node on the autonomic control plane, the message comprising a first security credential, and the address of the message being determined from the map.
