[core] Directing responses to a broker

[Benjamin Damm]

Core,

We have a scenario where we want to support CoAP Observes and we also want to optionally flag that responses should not come back to the initiator, but rather go to a broker instead. Have there been any proposals for an extension to indicate this?

Thanks,
-Ben

This sounds a lot like what Zhen Cao has suggested in
[delegated-observe].

I think such a setup -- if you indeed think what Zhen wrote -- is too
brittle to be practical, and [suggested] alternatives I'd consider more
reliable. The discussion on delegated-observe became quiet, but please
have a look and let's continue it.

Best regards
Christian
