RE: CoAP example "Provisioning"

Hello,

The provisioning is only used to find the other device with the corresponding server that matches the client, as you say.

Once your device is inside the network, it is really up to you to decide what and how you want to do things.

1: mDNS is also a possibility. Please see the documentation on mDNS Discovery in Openthread.io.

2: I don't know, to be honest. Openthread "only" provides a network with IP connectivity. What the customers do after this really depends on their product specification (and we don't usually see that much of their specific implementation).

3: Provisioning is not greatly described in the documentation, but it is a way to expose resources in a COAP server-client application. You can read about the API around provisioning by searching for it in openthread.io, but other than that, I don't have a good answer, other than the usage demonstrated in the COAP server/client application.

Best regards,

Edvin
