Extensible resources are to be used when a higher layer entity wants Extensible resources are to be used when a higher layer entity wants
to be notified of an event. An event may be defined as the result of to be notified of an event. An event may be defined as the result of
a mathematical operation on a 6top resource. For example, the CoAP a mathematical operation on a 6top resource. For example, the CoAP
client might want to monitor when the DAG rank of a particular node client might want to monitor when the DAG rank of a particular node
crosses a threshold. Once the extensible resource is installed the crosses a threshold. Once the extensible resource is installed the
CoAP client uses the observe mechanism defined in CoAP client uses the observe mechanism defined in
