Is there anything in the Thread standard that forces devices in the mesh to relay messages outside of the mesh?

- edude03 2y agoDepends on your definition of "forces" - the protocol enforces ipv6 addressability, and has the concept of a "border router" that transports messages from the network the BR is connected to to the thread network. Presumably the fear here is that iPhones/ipads/macs will be border routers by default and since they likely have internet access they would "force" the system to accept messages from outside the mesh.
