Restriction of Nodes number in Mesh about nrf51-ble-bcast-mesh HOT 3 CLOSED

Hi,
there is actually no restriction on the number of nodes in the system! Since they don't address each other (or keep track of their neighbors), the devices don't need to store ID's or lists of neighbors, and the amount of devices makes no difference.

While we don't encourage it, this means that you could theoretically establish a global network of a billion evil minions that communicate through this mesh solution to secure your world domination. We haven't listed this as a potential usage scenario though, since the value propagation time increases with area, and you might get a lot of conflicting value updates when all your minions start blabbering over each other.
