How many devices can be configured in a single thread network?

[Akshay D R]

I am working on an application to connect approximately 500 devices in a single network... trying to check if Thread or Mesh is a better option... Please do suggest...

Also can we configure the network at the site? is it complex??? where can i get more information on thread??? SDK Documents only??? Lastly can configuration part be integrated with out application??? our application runs over a processor and has linux OS running on it...
