NCS IPSP (Router role) support

Smart.Enrg

Hi,

Reading through IPSP posts on devZone I realize there's IPSP support in nRF5.

Wondering if there is IPSP (router role) support in NCS - for nRF52833 target?

    Hi,

    Support for ISPS is a bit limited unfortunately. The node role is supported in NCS with the Zephyr IPSP Sample, but for the router role you will need to set up a border router on a Linux host.

    Have you considered other protocols such as Thread that support mesh networking, or is that not a requirement for this use case? Note that the Thread examples also come with multiprotocol support so that you can run BLE concurrently with thread.

    Best regards,

    Vidar

    Do you mean in this case: IPSP node could be used to generate/ consume IP packets (acting as a NIC/ network interface) that any remote (BLE enabled) IP host can connect to?

    Yes, this is in fact a multiprotocol enabled Thread application. Trying to figure out - how to forward Thread traffic over BLE/ IPSP - so I could then use BLE host on the far side? say for cloud access.
