The Control Plane of the COCO P2P network is used for various network management activities like:
  • Onboarding of new nodes into a network
  • Removal of nodes from a network
  • Discovery of nodes for performing UDP Hole Punching during data plane transfer
  • Packet Relay as a fallback for NAT/Firewall Traversal when UDP Hole Punching fails
Under typical usage for Home Automation we expect users to be well within the free limit of 100MB/month on the Control Plane. You can use the COCO App to track your control plane bandwidth usage. Download COCO App.
