Feature: real OTBR and RCP support - tracking PRs #739

@EskoDijk

Description

@EskoDijk

This issue is to track progress and PRs for the feature of supporting "real" OTBRs in the simulator; and supporting RCP/NCP nodes. The overall benefit is that real devices on the Ethernet/Wi-Fi network such as mobile phones or Thread Border Routers can communicate with the simulated Thread Border Router and its simulated Thread network as if it were a real BR/network.

Support for RCP/NCP nodes in OTNS

Support for the local host itself to act as OTBR for a network of simulated nodes

  • TBD - no PR yet; should be based on above code category once integrated.

Support for creating new node types (RCP, real OTBR, ...) in the GUI

  • TBD - should be based on directly above code category once integrated.

Support for OTBR Docker nodes (i.e. no requirement to build/change the local host into an OTBR)

  • TBD - consider if useful after previous functions all working.

Working / draft PRs - not directly planned for merging
