A device's Exchange MTU Request shall contain the same MTU as the > device's Exchange MTU Response (i.e. the MTU shall be symmetric). Yes, MTU is symmetric and this is not a discussion point. Bottom line here is like this: 1. Current BlueZ acts correctly in MTU exchange context 2. We try to workaround for not correctly working Android 4.4 which has issue with BlueZ sending Exchange MTU request 3. role on the link is not relevant. There can be devices being Peripheral/Clienr or Central/Server. Central/Server will never send Exchange MTU Request and if BlueZ rely on the role on the link we will operate on Default MTU even though we can do better. -- BR / Pozdrawiam Łukasz
