Abstract
A method (200) is disclosed for operating a constrained device within a network, the network comprising a Network Address Translation (NAT) node deployed between the constrained device and a manager. The method comprises receiving from the manager configuration information for a Port Control Protocol (PCP) configuration data Object on the constrained device (210), the configuration information comprising a value for a Resource in the PCP configuration data Object (210a) and execution of a Resource in the PCP configuration data Object, the execution triggering sending of a PCP request (210b). The method further comprises sending a PCP Request to the NAT node in accordance with the executed Resource, the PCP Request including the Resource value received in the configuration information (220). Also disclosed are methods (500, 600) and apparatus for configuring and managing a constrained device.
