&lt;p&gt;Unfortunately, IoT CoAP has a limitation, that client will process only the first response for a multicast request, so group communication scheme you&amp;#39;ve mentioned will not work as expected.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As a workaround, you could specify a resource on a client side to gather responses, and send a response as a separate transaction (CoAP request).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Regards,
Robert&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
