Handle_Value pairs in nRF51-ble-bacst-mesh

[Ankit]

Hi,

In the nRF51-ble-bcast-mesh example, it is mentioned that "handle_count" refers to "The maximum number of handle-value pairs available to the application. May not be higher than 155 due to BLE namespace requirements."

What does this mean? And, what is the meaning of "handle-value pairs" in this example?

The "handle" is a bit of a misnomer as it refers to a Trickle instance in the Network and it is not a GATT handle. The 155 is the number of Trickle instances that can be supported on a Mesh Network. "Handle-Value" pairs is the value of the Trickle Instance and the Handle number of the Trickle instance.
