ng_bluetooth
—
placeholder for global Bluetooth variables
The ng_bluetooth
module is a placeholder for global
Bluetooth variables. All Bluetooth variables can be examined and changed via
sysctl(8).
Below is the description of default variables. Each Bluetooth module might add
its own variables to the tree.
- net.bluetooth.version
- A read-only integer variable that shows the current version of the
Bluetooth stack.
- net.bluetooth.hci.command_timeout
- A read-write integer variable that controls the Host Controller Interface
(HCI) command timeout (in seconds), i.e., how long the HCI layer will wait
for the
Command_Complete
or
Command_Status
event from a Bluetooth device.
- net.bluetooth.hci.connection_timeout
- A read-write integer variable that controls the HCI connection timeout,
i.e. how long the HCI layer will wait for the
Connection_Complete
event. Normally this should
not be required as Bluetooth devices have connection timeout of their own
and will send event back. This timeout is required to ensure that no
connection will stall in case when the HCI transport layer is broken. Be
careful when changing this variable. Make sure you understand what you are
doing.
- net.bluetooth.hci.max_neighbor_age
- A read-write integer variable that controls time-to-live (in seconds) for
entries in the HCI neighbor cache. Every time a Bluetooth device performs
an
Inquiry
operation, the results will be put in
cache. Later when a Bluetooth device establishes a baseband connection, it
will try to find the matching entry in the cache and use it. This might
speed up establishment of the baseband connection.
- net.bluetooth.l2cap.rtx_timeout
- A read-write integer variable that controls the Link Layer Control and
Adaptation Protocol (L2CAP) Retransmission Timeout (RTX) (in seconds).
Every time the L2CAP layer submits a control command, the RTX timeout is
set. The value of the RTX timeout should be greater or equal to the value
of the HCI connection timeout. Be careful when changing this variable.
Make sure you understand what you are doing.
- net.bluetooth.l2cap.ertx_timeout
- A read-write integer variable that controls the L2CAP Extended
Retransmission Timeout (ERTX) (in seconds). In some cases remote peer may
respond with
PENDING
status to the L2CAP control
command. In this case the L2CAP command timeout is reset to the ERTX
timeout value. The value of the ERTX timeout should be greater or equal to
the value of the RTX timeout. Be careful when changing this variable. Make
sure you understand what you are doing.
The ng_bluetooth
module was implemented in
FreeBSD 5.0.
