Network Controller

ChirpStack Network Server makes it possible to integrate an external Network Controller to interact with the ChirpStack Network Server API. This makes it possible to let an external component schedule mac-commands for example.

For this to work, the external Network Controller must implement the NetworkController gRPC service as specified in protobuf/nc/nc.proto. Also ChirpStack Network Server must be configured so that it connects to this Network Controller (see Configuration).

Note: for "regular" use, this component is not needed as most / all mac-commands are already scheduled by ChirpStack Network Server, based on the ChirpStack Network Server Configuration.
