DTLS has to provide many of the services of the Transport and Network layer
(various amounts of reliability, fragmentation/segmentation) and there is
overhead in that. When running over things like CoAP, which *ALSO* provides
those services, and in a more constrained network happy way, DTLS is way less
appealing.

In my opinion, the ISO layer naming system has always been better as
documentation, rather than architecture :-)
