While such functionality can be beneficial, it has to be carefully placed into the context of the general Internet communication and it needs to be clearly identified where and how those benefits apply. This document presents some use cases to demonstrate how a number of salient COIN-related applications can benefit from COIN. Furthermore, to guide research on COIN, it further identifies essential research questions and outlines desirable capabilities that COIN systems addressing the use cases may need to support. It is a product of the Computing in the Network Research Group (COINRG). It is not an IETF product and it is not a standard.}, }
