Abstract

A method for operating a constrained device within a network is disclosed. The constrained device is configured with a plurality of data objects and a mapping between at least one of the data objects and a multicast address. The method includes detecting that the constrained device should send a notification 104 and determining a topic to which the notification relates. The method further includes, if the topic corresponds to a data object, retrieving the data object to which the topic corresponds, retrieving a mapped multicast address corresponding to the data object, and posting the notification to the retrieved multicast address.
