[Bluez-users] PAN vs. RFCOMM/PPP speeds?

[Bluez-users] PAN vs. RFCOMM/PPP speeds?

[Raymond Ingles]

I've got my Treo 650 connecting to my computer over Bluetooth by
following guides like: http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/8185

 It works and the speed is acceptable. However, from what I understand
it's basically using PPP over RFCOMM over Bluetooth - which seems like
a bit much in terms of overhead - and appears to be limited to
115,200Kbps. I wonder if trying to use a PAN connection (perhaps the
NAP configuration in the PAN HOWTO) would bypass some of the overhead?

 I couldn't find anything directly commenting on this. My tinkering
time is limited (three kids, one on the way, etc.) so I'm reluctant to
play with PAN unless I was reasonably sure it would be worth it.

 Thanks in advance for any information y'all can provide.

Hello,

setting up PAN isn't difficult if you know how. I can post some small how-to
here somewhere in the week. I get around 1Mbps with my bluetooth
2.0-EDR-devices. Maybe I should get higher speeds, which I may ask about in
the future.

Greetings,

Michel
