Performance considerations

Hello, I am programming with bluez in C, transfering data from a linux PC to a java application on a phone. All works fine. I have some performance questions. When I use L2CAP sockets, I get an average of 10% better bitrate on a given pair PC/phone than with RFCOMM sockets. Also, changing the MTU of the L2CAP socket has an impact on bitrate. An MTU of 672 on some phones gives a average bitrate of 190kB/s, nearly 50% more than with an MTU of 256 bytes. Also, in noisy environements (with lots and lots of phones with bluetooth enabled), there is a great decrease in performance ( an average of 50kB/s with a good phone). What bitrate values can you achieve? Can I expect an amelioration, for example on fine tuning the stack's parameters, to get the maximum bitrate possible? Regards, Mickael
