Number of BL Mesh clients

[SørenHN]

In the Bluetooth Light Controller example for the client in main.c these constants are defined:

#define SERVER_COUNT (3)
#define CLIENT_COUNT (SERVER_COUNT + 1)

Why is it necessary to have 4 clients, when only one devboard is used in the example as a client?

Is it because i could connect up to 4 clients to the network, but just haven't done it? Or should there be a client for each server plus 1 "parent" client on the client device?

Pretty sure that you can adjust the SERVER_COUNT and CLIENT_COUNT (see this Devzone post). You don't necessarily need to use 4 clients. As for why the CLIENT_COUNT = SERVER_COUNT + 1, this Devzone answer explains things quite well.
