+# libcoap client example
+
+This example shows how to configure a client to use libcoap
+
+## Fast configuration (Between RIOT instances):
+
+Preparing the logical interfaces:
+
+    sudo ./../../dist/tools/tapsetup/tapsetup --create 2
+
+## Client invocation
+For the client:
+
+    PORT=tap0 make term
+    coapc coap://[ip6-address]/some/path
+
+The IP address to connect to needs to be that as returned by libcoap_server,
+or that of the tap0 interface, etc.
+
+## Handling the static memory allocation
+
+libcoap for RIOT is using the `sys/memarray` module and therefore there
+are certain limits. Said resources are defined in `libcoap/src/coap_mem.c`,
+but can be overwritten at compile time.

+# libcoap server example
+
+This example shows how to configure a server to use libcoap
+
+## Fast configuration (Between RIOT instances):
+
+Preparing the logical interfaces:
+
+    sudo ./../../dist/tools/tapsetup/tapsetup --create 2
+
+## Server invocation
+For the server:
+
+    PORT=tap0 make term
+    coaps {stop|start}
+
+The server supports requests for
+ coap://[ip]/time?ticks
+ coap://[ip]/.well-known/core
+
+## Handling the static memory allocation
+
+libcoap for RIOT is using the `sys/memarray` module and therefore there
+are certain limits. Said resources are defined in `libcoap/src/coap_mem.c`,
+but can be overwritten at compile time.
