Hello,
I have one FTD, that has already formed thread network and in that my one of MTD device join(Discovery Req/Resp, Parent Req/Resp and Child ID Req/Resp done) that already existing thread network but not authenticate(DTLS steps not done) into the thread network. Without authenticate my MTD device into thread network still it can able to communicate well with their FTD device and I can able to see that packet into the Wireshark as well.
Can anyone tell what are the benefits of the authenticate device into the thread network?, If we not do that then what thing will not work?
Thanks,
