Use Thread for interoperability
- [Instructor] Thread is an IPv6-based network protocol for the low-power mesh networks, on top of the IEEE 802.15.4-compliant radios. Thread can help us build a networking application focusing on the application features, with little worry about underlying communication protocols or platforms it's built upon. Thread focuses on mesh networking between radio nodes, which can avoid single point of failure. In a typical local mesh network, there are different rows of different IoT devices, including end devices, which can be sensing devices, thread router, that connects any devices, and thread leader, as well as border router interfacing the local network with external network. OpenThread is an opensource implementation of the Thread protocol, released under the permissive BSD 3-clause license. It is OS and platform agnostic, meaning that it can be integrated into any OS, including the general purpose, full-fledged OSs, such as Linux, macOS and Windows, as well as embedded OSs, such as…
