IPv6 over BLE question

[Jakes James]

Hello everyone, I was wondering if we could run IPSP over 2 BLE-supported nordic kits and ping one from another without using a BLE-Enabled router, like connecting them together without the need for a router, is this possible?

Hi

Communicating with IP over BLE is possible! There is an example in the 15.2.0 SDK which demonstrate the use of TCP/IP over BLE.  The example is found at SDK_LOCATION\examples\iot\tcp\

Documentation : https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.nordic.infocenter.sdk5.v15.2.0%2Fiot_sdk_app_lwip_tcp.html&cp=4_0_0_4_1_4_8

Would'nt this require a BLE-Enable router for both nodes to communicate? I want them to communicate using IP Over BLE with no routers in between, is this even possible?

Hi

Sorry, i didn't read your question properly. Yes, you're right, the example does require a router. Contrarily to what i wrote earlier, the SDK doesn't support the use of IP over BLE without the use of a router.

Thanks a lot for your answer.
