i have a question about the server number and client number in mesh, how many client and how many server can be in one mesh group?

Question

i want to set CLIENT_NODE_COUNT to 30 and SERVER_NODE_COUNT to 60, if it is possible this mesh network works?

Hi Wei, The main limitation is when we use nRF for provisioner, as we are limited by how much provisioning data the nRF can store. That is the main reason for max around 30 nodes in our examples. ​The same goes to a certain extent for nRF based nodes when it comes to the number of models they can have and the number of addresses they can publish to, etc. In a Bluetooth mesh network, you can have a very high number of models in total. There is no limit to the number of nodes listening to a group address. It is hard to tell what you need as we do not know what is the use case. You may need that number of clients and servers, but please be aware that one node can have several models (and also several of the same model.) If you increase CLIENT_NODE_COUNT and SERVER_NODE_COUNT in our examples, you may need to extend other values as well. -Amanda H.
