Well there is no "networking" standardized for Bluetooth yet (BT SIG is working on kind of mesh networking architecture) so the only topology supported is peer-to-peer;) So simple: 20 links with Nordic stack (Soft Device) on nRF52 (and some other stacks claim 32 concurrent connections or even more) but always just 1-to-1. Sure you can transport information over such topology on application layer, but that's not really a networking, is it...

Thank you both for the help, I'm on the tutorial right now and is what I needed, just one more question I'm using the multilink central to connect up to 20, wich kind of network topology establishes?

Daniel, Is there any specific tutorial to manage this with the nrf52832?

Yes, that is of course possible :) The nRF52 can simultaneously be connected to upto 20 other nrf52(or other BLE devices, e.g. smartphones) over BLE, and each of these 20 links can either be a slave/peripheral or master/central.

And have you bothered to go through the tutorials and SDK examples? Or you have some specific set-up and problem?

Connect over Bluetooth or other radio or through wire? There is indeed dozens of examples and tutorials on this site, on Infocenter and in nRF5 SDK. Does it help?
