Document why OTAA is better than ABP #215
Comments
Re: DevAddrs: here's how DevAddr blocks are currently routed: V2 Cross-Region Routing Destinations (public clusters)
Packet Broker Routing Destinations (shared clusters)
|
@nejraselimovic can you see what's already in our docs and take on adding information in a place that people will see? |
Sure |
Should this be included in the documentation? |
I don't know if this should be the place to document what Packet Broker does. I definitely think that documenting v2 PCN DevAddr blocks is out of scope for the documentation site of The Things Stack. |
I agree, let's scope this really to OTAA vs ABP. |
Summary
We need to write some documentation that recommends OTAA over ABP.
Why do we need this ?
Until last week, we didn't, because most of our Cloud customers already use OTAA. However, we're now seeing a large number of TTN users starting to migrate devices to v3, and many of those are ABP.
What is already there? What do you see now?
There's a lot of documentation (in the wild) that uses ABP. This is mostly because it used to be easier (simpler) to start with ABP. There are also a lot of ABP devices on TTN v2 that will (hopefully not) get migrated to TTN v3.
What is missing? What do you want to see?
We need to document the limitations of ABP and explain why it's better to use OTAA.
How do you propose to document this?
Let's discuss what else we can say
