      I am a newcomer of Lopy4 and I want to bind the socket of raw lora to an IP address, but after seeing the help(), it seems there isn't such a function in the socket of lora-mac. What should I do? Help me please 😭

        @Wenbo LoRa does not carry IP. It is a very, very, very slow network link, so all the overhead of TCP/IP (and upper layers) would be quite a problem (especially if you take into account maximum packet lengths, duty cycle restrictions, etc.).

        If you use raw LoRa, you need to implement your own protocol on top of it, the less overhead the better.

              @jcaron Oh, I see. Thank you 😄But why the socket in lora mesh can be bound to an IP address? Are they different?
