This protocol, it seems, aims to update the User Datagram Protocol (UDP), a core part of the Internet protocol suite that also includes TCP, for example.

SAN JOSE, Calif. -- October 23, 2012 - PLDA, the industry leader in interconnect IP, today unveiled its 10Gb UDP Hardware stack IP core. PLDA’s QuickUDP IP solution is a 100% RTL-designed IP, ...

Ransomware purporting to come from a phony government agency, the Central Security Treatment Organization, has been making the rounds and using Google Maps and Imgur, researchers claim.

But just like any other UDP-based protocol, CoAP is inherently susceptible to IP address spoofing and packet amplification, the two major factors that enable the amplification of a DDoS attack.
