L2CAP Segmentation of Voice Packets

Original Post: doubt doubt!!! (eGroups Msg. )    Date: 2000-09-26


    The L2CAP layer takes care of the segmentation and reassembly of ACL packets transferred across devices (this is due to the limitation of a max of 341 bytes (DH5) of a baseband packet). However the L2CAP spec does not state where this is done for voice packets. There is a very simple reason to this, all voice packets in the Bluetooth spec are only one (Baseband) timeslot in length, therefore packet segmentation & reassembly is not required. Also in Bluetooth ,voice doesn't go through L2CAP, it directly goes to the Link Manager, Link Controller/Baseband or through HCI
