Device description

Thread Border Router

IPv6 router connecting a Thread mesh network to IP infrastructure and providing Thread Border Routing and service-discovery functions.

A Thread Border Router connects the wireless Thread network to Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or other IPv6 infrastructure. It participates in publishing prefixes, routes, and network data and enables communication between the Thread domain and infrastructure network.

Typical functions include Border Routing, DNS-SD Discovery Proxy, SRP, mDNS, NAT64/DNS64, and Thread Border Agent. The device may manage the Operational Dataset, support commissioning, PSKc/ePSKc, topology diagnostics, Link Metrics, and redundant Border Routers.

Selection criteria include Thread version, router role, child and router capacity, IEEE 802.15.4 channels, infrastructure functions, commissioning security, and Matter compatibility.
