Switch the default transport-mode to TCP



The UDP tends to be quite unreliable with IPv4 and NAT and this

can give bad experience for new users. We should default to TCP

to provide more stable platform for testing the capabilities.

Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 3 * Make sure that you are using the same radio modules on both server and client sides:
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 4
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 5 * If the radio module on the gateway router supports the 2.4 GHz frequency band, the client side must have an mbed 6LoWPAN shield that uses a 2.4 GHz radio module (such as Atmel AT86RF233).
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 6
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 7 * If the radio module on the gateway router supports the sub-GHz frequency band, the client side must have an mbed 6LoWPAN shield that uses a sub-GHz radio module (such as Atmel AT86RF212B).
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 8
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 9 * An easy way to identify which frequency band your setup uses is to check the **Antenna size** on the radio module:
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 10
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 11 * The sub-GHz band antenna is larger than the 2.4 GHz antenna.

Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 13 * For the client side (mbed 6LoWPAN shield connected to an FRDM-K64F board), see the image below:
