What is Thread?
- sertsa 1y agoA newish IOT protocol, think Zigbee 2.0 kinda. https://www.threadgroup.org/ https://www.threadgroup.org/
- somanyphotons 1y agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thread_(network_protocol) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thread_(network_protocol)
- ComputerGuru 1y agoZigbee like thing for IoT and Matter.
- omnicognate 1y agoA very badly named mesh networking protocol designed for IoT applications, usually used as the transport layer for the equally badly named "Matter" IoT protocol.
- wrigby 1y agoThread is a mesh networking protocol mostly targeted at IoT and smart-home connectivity - it's basically a Zigbee competitor.
- terramex 1y agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thread_(network_protocol) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thread_(network_protocol) > Thread is an IPv6-based, low-power mesh networking technology for Internet of things (IoT) products. > Often used as a transport for Matter (the combination being known as Matter over Thread), the protocol has seen increased use for connecting low-power and battery-operated smart-home devices. > Thread uses 6LoWPAN, which, in turn, uses the IEEE 802.15.4 wireless protocol with mesh communication (in the 2.4 GHz spectrum), as do Zigbee and other systems. However, Thread is IP-addressable, with cloud access and AES encryption. A BSD-licensed open-source implementation of Thread called OpenThread is available from and managed by Google.
- wltr 1y agoThank you, stranger! And all the other sibling comments too. Sometimes, it’s not trivial to search things on my own, when I don’t understand what the result I’m looking for. Funny thing, I know very little of networking, but this bears more sense than just Thread.
