That is, after the first group request including the Block2 Option and sent over UDP, the following unicast CoAP requests targeting individual servers to retrieve further blocks may be sent over TCP or WebSockets, possibly protected with TLS.

This requires the individually addressed servers to also support CoAP over TCP/TLS/WebSockets for the targeted resource. While those transports do not support multicast, it is possible to rely on multicast for discovering that a server has those transports available and that they allow accessing the targeted resource, possibly with block-wise transfer used for random access to blocks within the resource reprentation. Such discovering can rely on means defined in {{I-D.ietf-core-transport-indication}}.

### Other Transports ###
CoAP group communication may be used over transports other than UDP/IP multicast. For example broadcast, non-UDP multicast, geocast, serial unicast, etc. In such cases the particular considerations for UDP/IP multicast in this document may need to be applied to that particular transport.
