Detailed Description

draft-ietf-core-resource-directory-15 defines two types different roles for nodes when interacting with a RD:

Registration Lookup, Group

Note
In the context of this module, we refer to these roles as endpoint (ep) and lookup client (lc). This should hopefully prevent some confusion in conjunction with the client and server roles as defined by CoAP.
