Hello Jay,

Indeed as Jonathan wrote on openthread users forum, the maximum numer of supported children is determined by OPENTHREAD_CONFIG_MAX_CHILDREN config. This value cannot be changed runtime, you need to modify it and rebuild libraries. The default value is 10. We are going to increase this value in the subsequent releases of nRF SDK for Thread and Zigbee.

When it comes to your problem with mac.cpp assert. We have already created a pull request with the fix that should be merged to the main branch today.

https://github.com/openthread/openthread/pull/3203

Its very likely to see bugfix release of SDK soon.

My Understanding from the openthread user groups post https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/openthread-users/FQDJG73cCIU is that the max number of children is hard coded and that I am going to also have to increase other buffers. Our goal is to reach 500 nodes. Without going past the default max number of children value of 10 that is hard coded in the config file we can not reach the goal of 500. Max Router is 32 With only 10 children each, we only get to 320.
