How to debug throughput issues?

How to debug throughput issues?

[Subhashini Rao Beerisetty]

 Hi All,

 I’ve two Bluetooth dongles and connected to two Linux
systems(hostname1, hostname2). I’ve a test executable and it creates a
BT link does the file transfer and calculates the throughput.

 I repeated the same test with the same BT dongles on another
different Linux systems(hostname3, hostname4), here I’m getting less
data rate.

Here first I want to narrow down whether the issue is below device
driver level or above device driver level and where the bottleneck is?
which tools will help me to debug this kind of issue?

Thanks

Are these dongle supports classic mode or Ble?
Which profile are you using to establish connection between these two? (
PAN, ..etc)

After inserting dongles to host are you getting serial interface
/dev/tty* or hci interface ?
If its hci interface ,you can use hcidump to see packets  and check MTU
size

I think before jumping into driver level ,its better to ensure all
bluetooth parameters are same on both the setups.

It supports classic mode.

Using serial interface /dev/tty*

Except the kernel version(hostname1 & 2 are having same kernel and it
differs with hostname3 & 4 kernel version) rest all other stuff is
same. So I'd like to know how to know which part of kernel mode
functions causing more delay and any tools are there to debug these
issues?

    You may focus on serial driver .

Does kernel has any tools to identify the costly(long time taken) API's?
