BTL2CAP

Bluetooth Logical Link Control and Adaptation Protocol (btl2cap)

BTL2CAP is a protocol that sits directly ontop of BTHCI_ACL and which prodives signalling and sessions between applications on two Bluetooth devices.

Protocol dependencies

Some protocols implemented ontop of BTL2CAP are. These protocols are called "profiles"

Wireshark

The BTL2CAP dissector is fully functional and supports fragment reassembly through the BTHCI_ACL layer.

Preference Settings

There are no preference settings for BTL2CAP.

Example capture file

Display Filter

A complete list of BTL2CAP display filter fields can be found in the display filter reference

Show only the PROTO based traffic:

Capture Filter

You cannot directly filter BTL2CAP protocols during capturing since captureing is not yet possible.
