Multicast discoverable CoAP server

See original GitHub issue

I’m struggling with how to use node-coap to create a coap server that is discoverable via multicast per the CoRE RFC Discovery

I see createServer has options for multicast, however if I have multiple coap servers on my network, how do I associate a unique piece of info with each server so clients know which server to connect to?

I know mDNS, and I’d like to get rid if it in favor of CoRE discovery - but I have to admit I’m a noob in this space so not sure how to pull it off.

I’m aware of https://github.com/mcollina/node-coap/issues/53 but it does not help.
