OpenThread, an open-source implementation of the Thread networking protocol

There does not seem to be any intent to make the Thread protocol itself public. Interesting situation, where the codebase is open but what it's supposed to do is still proprietary.

Would love more public details on all the workings since there doesn't seem to be more interest in making the thread protocol itself public as others have mentioned. We (https://flair.co) were skeptical of 2.4Ghz radios and so far that has been a good move but maybe one day you will be able to change out physical layers?

Cute. It's not an open protocol unless they make the spec public and free.

It's cool there's some open source here, but people should probably bear in mind Nest's significant troubles of late. It's not a company I expect to see much longer in the future, as even Googlers internally have expressed on Memegen a desire for Google to offload it.

I wouldn't find building your platform on top of it to be appealing in that context.

Any idea why they chose DV based routing? Looks like they have ignored about 20 years of Wireless Sensor Networks/cyber-physical systems research.
