LinkedIn A Look at a Real World Thread Network Thread is a fast growing wireless protocol for low power IoT networks. It’s a feature of Matter , which can also use BLE and Wi-Fi. Similar to Zigbee, Thread uses 802.15.4 for its PHY and MAC, but an important difference is that it uses 6LoWPAN for the network layer, so IPv6 addressing is used for all Thread devices. That’s IPv6-only , but more on that later.
Having recently deployed a home Thread network managed by Apple HomeKit, I wanted to see what I could discover about its operation. Below are some tips and interesting findings. Maybe this isn’t particularly useful information, because Apple’s implementation requires very little from the end-user and couldn’t be simpler to use. It really is as close to “It just works” as I’ve experienced with a wireless network, but if you want to peek behind the protocol operation curtain a bit, you might find this interes
