Re: [RFC] Auto Connections

Hi Claudio,

to Jaikumar:
The profiles will indirectly manage the connections providing
informations such as connection parameters(interval, window, ...) and
addresses, but the kernel needs to centralize/manage the connections.

As per section 9.3.8, a host can still perform direct connection
establishment procedure
by telling controller to "ignore the White List and process
connectible advertising
packets from a specific single device specified by the Host". Wouldn't
this be same
as letting the host[read profiles] directly manage connections?

We can't allow the profiles to control the connection directly, a
remote can implement more than one profile, maybe with different
constraints. The host can also provide inputs, for instance power
saving profile or maximum number of LE connections.

Why not? under direct connection establishment procedure, it should be
possible for a host
to establish connection with a remote peer device with host selected connection
configurable parameters. Why should we deprive a bluez host of
establishing such a connection...

Or did I miss something here?

Thanks,
Arun
