@osterwood Yes, that'd work probably even with slipmux-as-is-described, provided some operational conditions are upheld. Polling is probably not too bad in such a setup, and devices would respond quickly or be flagged as faulty. Polling can be made reasonably efficient using ETags -- like in HTTP, you send a GET with some expectation, and the sensor says "yeah still valid". And CoAP has built-in discovery and proxying, so the main part can start discovering on the bus, and relay its findings.
