Description
RFC 8323 specifies CoAP over TCP instead of UDP. Roughly speaking, the protocol is the same as in the UDP case, but measures that let the application detect duplicate messages and resolve ordering issues are not included within the TCP version of CoAP.
Questions that come to my mind are:
- Is there any intention/timeline to support CoAP over TCP (or even TLS)?
- Does an integration of the TCP case make sense to include in the current library? Can one estimate the refactoring efforts?
Thanks!

Research direction
Start by reading RFC 8323 and comparing its TCP/TLS requirements with the current library's UDP-oriented design. Determine whether support belongs in this library, what refactoring would be required, and whether a concrete implementation plan and completion criteria can be defined; no specific file or test is identified in the issue.
