OpenThread Border Router#
A Thread Border Router connects a Thread Network to other IPbased networks, such as Wi-Fi® or Ethernet®. A Thread Network requires a Border Router to connect to other networks. The Border Router provides services for devices within the Thread Network, including routing services for off-network operations, bidirectional connectivity over IPv6 infrastructure links, and service registry to enable DNS-based service discovery.
