thread network

The Thread network is an IPv6-basednetwork for Smart Homes, Connected Living or the Internet of Things(IoT), oriented towards low-power mesh networks. Several hundred devices can be networked together via the Thread network. Like ZigBee, the Thread protocol uses 802.15.4 for the two lower layers, the physical layer(PHY) and the medium access control(MAC). The Thread protocol The thread protocol, which covers the network and transport layers, consists of the 6LoWPAN protocol, the IP routing, and the UDP protocol. Which are secured by a security mechanism. For ZigBee components to work under the Thread protocol, they only need to be updated. Protocol stack of the Thread protocolIn terms of layers and protocols, 6LoWPAN (IPv6 over Low Power Wireless PersonalArea Networks) supports the IP protocol in wireless networks and can be used to build homogeneous networks with addressable end-to-end connections. IP routing is about routing datagrams over IP networks. The routing algorithm used in the thread protocol is the distance vector algorithm(DVA). This algorithm determines the shortest route with the fewest hops through the IP network. And the UDP protocol has the advantage over the TCP protocol of much lower overhead, which contributes to energy savings. All network traffic over the thread protocol, including the application, is secured by the DTLSsecurity protocol, Datagram Transport Layer Security Protocol (DTLS). The structure of thread networks Thread network Thread networks are mesh networks. They are composed of the end devices, the thread routers, the leaders, and the border or edge routers. A thread network can consist of over 250 devices that are interconnected. All devices are addressable via their
