1. Introduction

Regarding Thread implementation, each node forming the 802.15.4 network can act with different roles: Leader, Router, End device or Sleepy End Device (SED). A special role named Border Router allow the Thread nodes to access the outside world through an end-to-end IPv6 connection. A Thread Border Router (i.e., Thread BR) connects a Thread network to other IP-based networks, such as Wi-Fi or Ethernet. A Thread network requires a Border Router to connect to other networks. It is basically a bridge between Thread network and a Wi-Fi or ethernet interface.
