Bluetooth Protocol?

bluetooth, network-protocols, protocols

Solution

TCP and UDP are transport level protocols whereas Bluetooth would be a lower level protocol. Thus you could use TCP or UDP on top of Bluetooth just as you use TCP and UDP on top of Ethernet.

Problem

Ok, this might just be a dumb question, but I was wondering if Bluetooth follows TCP or UDP protocol? From my knowledge of network protocols (which isn't much), I would say that it doesn't follow either of those two and that there is some kind of specific bluetooth protocol that exist. I have one more question...what protocol does the bluetooth functionality in the GameKit in the new iPhone OS 3.0 follow? I haven't looked through every single word of the apple documents yet, but so far, I haven't been able to find it.
