31.Sh NAME
32.Nm ng_l2cap
33.Nd Netgraph node type that implements Bluetooth Logical Link Control and
34Adaptation Protocol (L2CAP)
35.Sh SYNOPSIS
36.In sys/types.h
37.In netgraph/bluetooth/include/ng_hci.h
38.In netgraph/bluetooth/include/ng_l2cap.h
39.Sh DESCRIPTION
40The
41.Nm l2cap
42node type is a Netgraph node type that implements Bluetooth Logical Link
43Control and Adaptation Protocol as per chapter D of the Bluetooth Specification
44Book v1.1.
45.Pp
46L2CAP provides connection-oriented and connectionless data services to upper
47layer protocols with protocol multiplexing capability, segmentation and
48reassembly operation, and group abstractions.
49L2CAP permits higher level
50protocols and applications to transmit and receive L2CAP data packets up to
5164 kilobytes in length.
52.Ss L2CAP Assumptions
53.Bl -enum -offset indent
54.It
55The ACL link between two units is set up.
56The Baseband provides orderly
57delivery of data packets, although there might be individual packet corruption
58and duplicates.
59No more than one ACL link exists between any two devices.
60.It
61The Baseband always provides the impression of full-duplex communication
62channels.
63This does not imply that all L2CAP communications are bi-directional.
64Multicasts and unidirectional traffic (e.g., video) do not require duplex
65channels.
66.It
67L2CAP provides a reliable channel using the mechanisms available at the
68Baseband layer.
69The Baseband always performs data integrity checks when
70requested and resends data until it has been successfully acknowledged or
71a timeout occurs.
72As acknowledgements may be lost, timeouts may
73occur even after the data has been successfully sent.
74.El
75.Sh L2CAP GENERAL OPERATION
76The Logical Link Control and Adaptation Protocol (L2CAP) is based around the
77concept of
78.Dq channels .
79Each channel is bound to a single protocol in a many-to-one fashion.
80Multiple
81channels can be bound to the same protocol, but a channel cannot be bound to
82multiple protocols.
83Each L2CAP packet received on a channel is directed to
84the appropriate higher level protocol.
85.Pp
86Each one of the end-points of an L2CAP channel is referred to by a channel
87identifier.
88Channel identifiers (CIDs) are local names representing a logical
89channel end-point on the device.
90Identifiers from 0x0001 to 0x003F are reserved
91for specific L2CAP functions.
92The null identifier (0x0000) is defined as an
93illegal identifier and must never be used as a destination end-point.
94All L2CAP signalling commands are sent to CID 0x0001.
95CID 0x0002 is reserved for group-oriented channel.
96The same CID must not be reused as a local L2CAP
97channel endpoint for multiple simultaneous L2CAP channels between a local
98device and some remote device.
99.Pp
100CID assignment is relative to a particular device and a device can assign CIDs
101independently from other devices.
102Thus, even if the same CID value has been
103assigned to (remote) channel endpoints by several remote devices connected
104to a single local device, the local device can still uniquely associate each
105remote CID with a different device.
106.Ss Channel Operational States
107.Bl -tag -width indent
108.It Dv NG_L2CAP_CLOSED
109In this state, there is no channel associated with this CID.
110This is the only
111state when a link level connection (Baseband) may not exist.
112Link disconnection
113forces all other states into the
114.Dv NG_L2CAP_CLOSED
115state.
116.It Dv NG_L2CAP_W4_L2CAP_CON_RSP
117In this state, the CID represents a local end-point and an L2CAP Connect
118Request message has been sent referencing this endpoint and it is now waiting
119for the corresponding L2CAP Connect Response message.
120.It Dv NG_L2CAP_W4_L2CA_CON_RSP
121In this state, the remote end-point exists and an L2CAP Connect Request has
122been received by the local L2CAP entity.
123An L2CA Connect Indication has been
124sent to the upper layer and the part of the local L2CAP entity processing the
125received L2CAP Connect Request waits for the corresponding response.
126The response may require a security check to be performed.
127.It Dv NG_L2CAP_CONFIG
128In this state, the connection has been established but both sides are still
129negotiating the channel parameters.
130The Configuration state may also be
131entered when the channel parameters are being renegotiated.
132Prior to entering the
133.Dv NG_L2CAP_CONFIG
134state, all outgoing data traffic is suspended since
135the traffic parameters of the data traffic are to be renegotiated.
136Incoming
137data traffic is accepted until the remote channel endpoint has entered
138the
139.Dv NG_L2CAP_CONFIG
140state.
141In the
142.Dv NG_L2CAP_CONFIG
143state, both sides will issue
144L2CAP Configuration Request messages if only defaults are being used, a null
145message will be sent.
146If a large amount of parameters need to be negotiated,
147multiple messages will be sent to avoid any MTU limitations and negotiate
148incrementally.
149Moving from the
150.Dv NG_L2CAP_CONFIG
151state to the
152.Dv NG_L2CAP_OPEN
153state requires both sides to be ready.
154An L2CAP entity is ready when it has received
155a positive response to its final request and it has positively responded to
156the final request from the remote device.
157.It Dv NG_L2CAP_OPEN
158In this state, the connection has been established and configured, and data
159flow may proceed.
160.It Dv NG_L2CAP_W4_L2CAP_DISCON_RSP
161In this state, the connection is shutting down and an L2CAP Disconnect Request
162message has been sent.
163This state is now waiting for the corresponding response.
164.It Dv NG_L2CAP_W4_L2CA_DISCON_RSP
165In this state, the connection on the remote endpoint is shutting down and an
166L2CAP Disconnect Request message has been received.
167An L2CA Disconnect
168Indication has been sent to the upper layer to notify the owner of the CID
169that the remote endpoint is being closed.
170This state is now waiting for the
171corresponding response from the upper layer before responding to the remote
172endpoint.
173.El
174.Ss Protocol Multiplexing
175L2CAP supports protocol multiplexing because the Baseband Protocol does not
176support any
177.Dq type
178field identifying the higher layer protocol being multiplexed above it.
179L2CAP is able to distinguish between upper layer protocols such as the Service
180Discovery Protocol, RFCOMM and Telephony Control.
181.Ss Segmentation and Reassembly
182The data packets defined by the Baseband Protocol are limited in size.
183Large
184L2CAP packets must be segmented into multiple smaller Baseband packets prior
185to their transmission over the air.
186Similarly, multiple received Baseband
187packets may be reassembled into a single larger L2CAP packet.
188.Ss Quality of Service
189The L2CAP connection establishment process allows the exchange of information
190regarding the quality of service (QoS) expected between two Bluetooth units.
191.Ss Groups
192The Baseband Protocol supports the concept of a piconet, a group of devices
193synchronously hopping together using the same clock.
194The L2CAP group
195abstraction permits implementations to efficiently map protocol groups on to
196piconets.
197.Pp
198The following features are outside the scope of L2CAP responsibilities:
199.Bl -dash -offset indent
200.It
201L2CAP does not transport audio designated for SCO links.
202.It
203L2CAP does not enforce a reliable channel or ensure data integrity,
204that is, L2CAP performs no retransmissions or checksum calculations.
205.It
206L2CAP does not support a reliable multicast channel.
207.It
208L2CAP does not support the concept of a global group name.
209.El
210.Sh HOOKS
211This node type supports the following hooks:
212.Bl -tag -width indent
213.It Dv hci
214Bluetooth Host Controller Interface downstream hook.
215.It Dv l2c
216Upper layer protocol upstream hook.
217Usually the Bluetooth L2CAP socket layer is connected to the hook.
218.It Dv ctl
219Control hook.
220Usually the Bluetooth raw L2CAP sockets layer is connected to the hook.
221.El
222.Sh INTERFACE TO THE UPPER LAYER PROTOCOLS (L2CA CONTROL MESSAGES)
223Bluetooth specification says that L2CA request must block until response
224is ready.
225L2CAP node uses
226.Va token
227field from Netgraph message header to match L2CA request and response.
228The upper layer protocol must populate
229.Va token .
230L2CAP node will queue request and start processing.
231Later, when response is
232ready or timeout has occurred, L2CAP node will create new Netgraph message, set
233.Va token
234and
235.Dv NFG_RESP
236flag and send message to the upper layer.
237Note that L2CA indication messages
238will not populate
239.Va token
240and will not set
241.Dv NGF_RESP
242flag.
243There is no reason for this, because they are just notifications and do
244not require acknowledgment.
245.Bl -tag -width indent
246.It Dv NGM_L2CAP_L2CA_CON
247Requests the creation of a channel representing a logical connection to a
248physical address.
249Input parameters are the target protocol (PSM) and remote
