Connectivity APIs

Network socket

• Non-IP cellular socket: Send and receive 3GPP non-IP datagrams (NIDD) using the cellular IoT feature.
• Socket: The abstract base class for all of the protocol-specific socket types.
• SocketAddress: Used to represent the IP address and port pair of a unique network endpoint.
• SocketStats: Read the network socket statistics for all sockets (both currently in use and closed).
• TCPSocket: Send a stream of data over TCP.
• UDPSocket: Send packets of data over UDP.

Network interface

• Cellular: Connect to the internet over a Cellular device.
• Ethernet: Connect to the internet over Ethernet.
• Mesh: Use the IPv6 mesh network topologies through the Nanostack networking stack to connect to a mesh network: Wi-Sun or 6LoWPAN-ND.
• Network status: Trigger a callback each time the network interface's status changes.
• Wi-Fi: Connect to the internet over a Wi-Fi device.

Secure socket

• DTLSSocket: Implement a DTLS stream over the existing Socket transport.
• TLSSocket: Implement a TLS stream over the existing Socket transport

DNS

• DNS Resolver: Perform DNS host name resolutions to convert resource names to IP addresses.

Bluetooth (BLE)

• BLE: Interface with the BLE controller on the board.
• GAP: Handle connectivity tasks.
• GattClient: Initiate interactions with a GattServer to discover services, characteristics and descriptors and perform operations on them.
• GattServer: Respond to a GattClient.
• SecurityManager: Use pairing and optional bonding processes to authenticate and encrypt BLE links.

NFC

• MessageBuilder: Construct NDEF messages, the common data format exchange for NFC messages.
• MessageParser: An event-driven NDEF message parser for a data buffer.
• NFCController: Emulate NFC tags that a smartphone can read and generate NDEF messages on demand.
• NFC EEPROM: Store NDEF messages.
• SimpleMessageParser: Similar to MessageParser, but includes subparsers for well-known NFC types records, such as Text, URI or Mime records, and produces usable objects out of the box.

LoRaWAN

• LoRaWANInterface: Connect to the internet over a LoRa network.
• LoRaRadio: A pure virtual class that defines APIs for a LoRa radio driver.
