[RFC] Release Plan for ERTM, Streaming Mode, FCS and SAR on L2CAP

[RFC] Release Plan for ERTM, Streaming Mode, FCS and SAR on L2CAP

[Gustavo F. Padovan]

Hi People,

I was thinking about a release plan for Enhanced Retransmission Mode,
Streaming Mode, Frame Check Sequence(FCS) and Segmentation and
Reassembly(SAR).

2.6.35: Upstream Streaming Mode, FCS, SAR and add a sub-menu option
to L2CAP at Kconfig for ERTM with an EXPERIMENTAL flag. So we will have
a chance to test ERTM more intensively.

2.6.36: Upstream ERTM. After that ERTM will be the default mode with
SOCK_STREAM and also enabled by default under L2CAP. If you think it's
not worth release Streaming Mode, FCS and SAR without ERTM we can
upstream them together on 2.6.36.

Comments, ideas?

Hi Gus,

	My comments will be that it is probably better to implement eRTM mode first because many existing implementations do not support stream mode but definitely support eRTM mode. 

	You shall be able to verify the testing with Bluetooth SIG PTS,

Thanks,

Mike

Hi Mike,

Again, no top posting, please. ;)

They are under development already. Streaming Mode, FCS and SAR is
implemented and need some stabilization, heavy tests and bug fixes only.
ERTM is not completely done and need some work on it already. That's why
I wanna delay ERTM's upstream.

Sure. The code will be tested with PTS before go upstream.
