Hello OpenThread Community! I successfully completed the laboratory work - "Thread Border Router - Bidirectional IPv6 Connectivity and DNS-Based Service Discovery" https://openthread.io/codelabs/openthread-border-router#0 (also successfully registered services). I can ping and send UDP packets to Thread devices inside my home network. I don't yet understand how to send and receive data from Thread devices outside my home network, and I need a hint-which technology to use for this purpose. Maybe it's CoAP, MQTT or there's something else? Please advise me what I need to study. Thank you. Best Regards, |

Thread transports IPv6 datagrams and can support a number of IPv6-based application protocols, including Matter, CoAP, MQTT, and others. Each application layer has its benefits and which one to select largely depends on the use case. The ability to support a number of different application layer protocols is one of Thread's main benefits! Various vendors provide SDKs that offer different application samples running on top of Thread. I suggest taking a look at those examples. |
