Detailed Description

This module includes functions for all Thread roles.

The Network Data Publisher provides mechanisms to limit the number of similar Service and/or Prefix (on-mesh prefix or external route) entries in the Thread Network Data by monitoring the Network Data and managing if or when to add or remove entries.

All the functions in this module require OPENTHREAD_CONFIG_NETDATA_PUBLISHER_ENABLE to be enabled.

Note
The functions in this module require OPENTHREAD_FTD=1 or OPENTHREAD_MTD=1 .

A call to this function will remove and replace any previous "DNS/SRP Service" entry that was being published (from earlier call to any of otNetDataPublishDnsSrpService{Type}() functions).

This function publishes the "DNS/SRP Service Unicast Address" by including the address and port info in the Service TLV data.

Parameters

otNetDataPublishDnsSrpServiceUnicastMeshLocalEid()

void otNetDataPublishDnsSrpServiceUnicastMeshLocalEid ( otInstance * aInstance,
uint16_t aPort
)

This function requests "DNS/SRP Service Unicast Address" to be published in the Thread Network Data.

A call to this function will remove and replace any previous "DNS/SRP Service" entry that was being published (from earlier call to any of otNetDataPublishDnsSrpService{Type}() functions).

Unlike otNetDataPublishDnsSrpServiceUnicast() which requires the published address to be given and includes the info in the Service TLV data, this function uses the device's mesh-local EID and includes the info in the Server TLV data.

Only stable entries can be published (i.e., aConfig.mStable MUST be TRUE).

A subsequent call to this method will replace a previous request for the same prefix. In particular, if the new call only changes the flags (e.g., preference level) and the prefix is already added in the Network Data, the change to flags is immediately reflected in the Network Data. This ensures that existing entries in the Network Data are not abruptly removed. Note that a change in the preference level can potentially later cause the entry to be removed from the Network Data after determining there are other nodes that are publishing the same prefix with the same or higher preference.

Parameters
[in] aInstance A pointer to an OpenThread instance.
[in] aConfig The external route config to publish (MUST NOT be NULL).
Return values
OT_ERROR_NONE The external route is published successfully.

OT_ERROR_NO_BUFS Could not allocate an entry for the new request. Publisher supports a limited number of entries (shared between on-mesh prefix and external route) determined by config OPENTHREAD_CONFIG_NETDATA_PUBLISHER_MAX_PREFIX_ENTRIES .

otNetDataPublishOnMeshPrefix()

otError otNetDataPublishOnMeshPrefix ( otInstance * aInstance,
const otBorderRouterConfig * aConfig

This function requests an on-mesh prefix to be published in the Thread Network Data.

This function requires the feature OPENTHREAD_CONFIG_BORDER_ROUTER_ENABLE to be enabled.

Only stable entries can be published (i.e., aConfig.mStable MUST be TRUE).

A subsequent call to this method will replace a previous request for the same prefix. In particular, if the new call only changes the flags (e.g., preference level) and the prefix is already added in the Network Data, the change to flags is immediately reflected in the Network Data. This ensures that existing entries in the Network Data are not abruptly removed. Note that a change in the preference level can potentially later cause the entry to be removed from the Network Data after determining there are other nodes that are publishing the same prefix with the same or higher preference.

Parameters
[in] aInstance A pointer to an OpenThread instance.
[in] aConfig The on-mesh prefix config to publish (MUST NOT be NULL).

otThreadSetJoinerAdvertisement()

otError otThreadSetJoinerAdvertisement ( otInstance * aInstance,
uint32_t aOui,
const uint8_t * aAdvData,
uint8_t aAdvDataLength
)

This method sets the Thread Joiner Advertisement when discovering Thread network.

Thread Joiner Advertisement is used to allow a Joiner to advertise its own application-specific information (such as Vendor ID, Product ID, Discriminator, etc.) via a newly-proposed Joiner Advertisement TLV, and to make this information available to Commissioners or Commissioner Candidates without human interaction.

Parameters
[in] aInstance A pointer to an OpenThread instance.
[in] aOui The Vendor IEEE OUI value that will be included in the Joiner Advertisement. Only the least significant 3 bytes will be used, and the most significant byte will be ignored.
[in] aAdvData A pointer to the AdvData that will be included in the Joiner Advertisement.
[in] aAdvDataLength The length of AdvData in bytes.
Return values
OT_ERROR_NONE Successfully set Joiner Advertisement.
OT_ERROR_INVALID_ARGS Invalid AdvData.
