Hi,

According with Bluetooth PAN Profile specification IP4vSubnet and IPv6Subnet NAP service record attributeID is a displayable string containing subnet definition of the network, e.g. 10.0.0.0/8 for IPv4 and fe80::/48 for IPv6. Based on this informartion I would like to know if is possible add an extra attribute(IPv4Gateway).

I am working with Bluetooth linux statck(BlueZ). Considering a NAP scenario, where a PANU connects to the NAP. After establish a PAN, it is necessary add a route to the default gateway(NAP Bluetooth interface). However, only the IPv4Subnet is provided and this information is not enough for IP setup. Attach a DHCP server on NAP interface or use a standard addressing based on subnet information(e.g. for 10.0.0.0 the gw should be 10.0.0.1) can solve my problem, but I want avoid these approachs.

What is the process to submit a profile change to Bluetooth SIG? Is it feasible add an IPv4Gateway attribute?

Regards,
Claudio
