An ideal MTU would be the largest that works over the total network path
from the FTP client to the FTP server.

pppd's mru option determines how it negotiates this option with the
peer. The negotiated mru forms the basis for the interface MTU. The
MTU can be changed up and down after interface creation, using "ifconfig
ppp0 mtu".

pppd running over bluetooth just believes it has a byte stream to the
peer. There may be bluetooth specific reasons to choose an MTU that
matches on the air packet sizes, in order to reduce latency, but if your
goal is mainly FTP my guess is that latency isn't important.

Re: snd-bt-sco

Hi again, Well, I figured out I didn't have the /dev/snd/* device files So now it almost works. The headset seems connected. I can use alsamixer (and the volume buttons on the headset changes the volume in the mixer window). hciconfig shows data is flowing at a steady rate from the microphone: hci0: Type: USB BD Address: 00:0B:0D:20:79:21 ACL MTU: 339:4 SCO MTU: 64:0 UP RUNNING PSCAN ISCAN RX bytes:8895374 acl:72 sco:329395 events:232 errors:0 TX bytes:3768 acl:151 sco:0 commands:47 errors:0 But no sound I'll try some more.

But here goes anyway:-) I just tried getting the Logitech HS01 bluetooth headset working on kernel 2.6.6 (debian unstable), using the ALSA driver from http://www.dcs.gla.ac.uk/~jp/snd-bt-sco/ Anyone had success with getting a headset working? I know this driver is a hack, but it would be cool to have skype working using a headset under linux.

Ideal mru and mtu ?

Hi, I was wondering if anyone had an idea as to what would be an ideal mru and mtu for me to specify when using pppd over a bluetooth connection. I am connecting to an access point that typically is quite busy, and has two simultaneous connections (ppp clients) connected to it, mainly for ftp transfer of files with an average size of 30K. Any ideas ? Thanks, Dave ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by Black Hat Briefings & Training.
