Socket communication is not documented in https://os.mbed.com/docs/v5.10/apis/mesh-api.html#mesh-example. This is because file https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbed-os-example-mesh-minimal/blob/master/mesh_led_control_example.cpp is missing from the example. Can the example in docs be updated to contain all files or should the link point to the original application in github?

Yes it does, the file https://os.mbed.com/teams/mbed-os-examples/code/mbed-os-example-mesh-minimal/file/c841ae60db06/mesh_led_control_example.cpp/ is available there.
I was a little bit confused how to find file mesh_led_control_example.cpp as it is not available in the https://os.mbed.com/docs/v5.11/apis/mesh-api.html#mesh-example.
Maybe file mesh_led_control_example.cpp could be added also to the https://os.mbed.com/docs/v5.11/apis/mesh-api.html#mesh-example if it is not confusing the user too much?

I'll update the version of the example transcluded into https://os.mbed.com/docs/v5.11/apis/mesh-api.html#mesh-example. This should fix the issue.
