Introduction
------------
`Thread <https://www.threadgroup.org>`_ is an IP-based mesh networking protocol. It is based on the 802.15.4 physical and MAC layer.
Application Examples
--------------------
- :example:`openthread/ot_br` demonstrates how to set up a Thread border router on {IDF_TARGET_NAME}, enabling functionalities such as bidirectional IPv6 connectivity, service discovery, etc.
- :example:`openthread/ot_cli` demonstrates how to use the OpenThread Command Line Interface with additional features such as TCP, UDP, and Iperf. This requires a board equipped with an IEEE 802.15.4 module. This example provides instructions on how to set up a network using at least two 802.15.4 boards.
- :example:`openthread/ot_rcp` demonstrates how to work with a Host Processor to perform as a Thread border router and function as a Thread sniffer, using a board with an IEEE 802.15.4 module.
API Reference
-------------
For manipulating the Thread network, the OpenThread API shall be used. The OpenThread API docs can be found at the `OpenThread API docs <https://openthread.io/reference>`_.
ESP-IDF provides extra APIs for launching and managing the OpenThread stack, binding to network interfaces and border routing features.
