Bad HCI Event : Number of Completed Packets - bluetooth-lowenergy

I am trying to run a BLE server that transmits around 35-40KBytes/sec through notifications. I have the server and notifications up and running with BlueZ-5.54 interfacing over HCI with BT860 Laird bluetooth module that leverages CYW20704 A2 Chipset.
The problem is with HCI Event: Number of Completed Packets. From what I understand the bluetooth controller will send this event once it has transmitted buffered packets to indicate available capacity. Also it is manufacture specific and cannot be controlled.
The chipset can buffer up to 15 packets of length 251 each. I confirmed that by sending raw command using hcitool.
All good so far, here is the problem description:
The applications sends 15 packets to the controller
After 2 x connection_interval_ms Controller replies with HCI Event: Number of Completed Packets = 2
This continues until all packets are sent. At the end, controller sends 8 HCI Event: Number of Completed Packets = 2/1, all 2 x connection_interval_ms apart
I am pasting output from "btmon" here for a better understanding of the situation(the important sections are separated by /******** break-lines ******/).
From the output it is clear that the controller only transmits 2 ACL packet at a time and then waits 2xconnection_interval_ms. This really is the bottleneck of my BLE server, please let me know how I can improve it!
I have tried different connection intervals, mtu sizes and even different client apps(nRF connect and RaspberryPi gatt client) all give me the same results. As well as gone through documentation for BT860 and CYW20704.
Can someone please help me understand how I can fix this? Essentially,
Why are the packets buffered and not transmitted?
If they are being transmitted, why is it not reported by the controller? How do I know if this is a bug in the controller?
Why are "Number of Completed Packets" HCI event always 2 x connection intervals apart? How can I control its frequency?

To get better throughput you should make use of the data length extension by setting a longer mtu and use longer notifications.
Anyway, this side runs as the "slave" role. But it's the master that controls how long the connection interval should stay open in the first place, so better check out the master setup and make sure it uses a long "connection event length". When this is equal to the connection interval you get maximum throughput.
A slave can abort a connection event earlier by stopping to listen to packets from the master. This is generally only done if the radio scheduler decides a more important radio event needs the radio right now.

How to send Read By Group Type request from Raspberry Pi?

I'm using Raspberry Pi to connect with Minew S1 Temperature and Humidity Sensor, in order to connect with my sensor I need to send some data to connect with sensor, so at first I tried connect with BeaconSet+ app with sensor, and I captured all those packets and tried to decode those using wireshark, so the first data sent from mobile to sensor is "Read By Group Type Request", what does it mean and how can I mirror it in Raspberry Pi using gatttool or bluetoothctl.
this link has packet screenshot

Problem reading the Content Sequence tag of DICOM file using DCMTK

Using DCMTK, I am trying to get the entire node of Content Sequence of .dcm SR files to extract measurements related to obstetrical scans. I use C-Find query. I am able to get the entire Content Sequence with Toshiba ultrasound machine but not with other brands. I don't think that this is a brand issue but the way I have set up the C-Find process. I am very new to this and am struggling to resolve the issue. I have included 2 log files below: one for the working case that successfully gets the entire node of Content Sequence tag, and another log for the non-working case that stops the process with an error "DIMSE Status: 0xc000: Error: Failed - Unable to process error". I appreciate any help or your insightful advice.
This the log for the non-working query

Your requests only differ in that your non-working query queries for a different patient ID.
An obvious mistake in both queries is that for a SERIES-level request in STUDY-ROOT, you must not include a value for the Patient ID, but for the Study Instance UID. This is wrong in terms of DICOM, but Orthanc seems to be capable of handling it in general. This is however the only hint that I can obtain from your logs, so I would give it a try.
Please note, that the Content Sequence is not a mandatory Return Key for the C-FIND, so you can never rely on the SCP supporting it.

How to find the record size in berkley database?

Is there any tool which can help in finding record size in berkley DB?
https://www.oracle.com/in/database/technologies/related/berkeleydb.html
db_dump (1) has them. For example, on an RHEL/Centos Linux system, use -da to dump all debug information:
db_dump -da /var/lib/rpm/Name | head -100

Why are my serial readings not accurate? Using 2 xbees

I have one XBee-Arduino transmitting a simple int counter to a receiver XBee-Arduino. The receiver prints fine until it gets to 16 and beyond. This is an example of my outputs:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13

26

28
61

63
64
65
98
67

69
I have tried new XBees and the XBees do not seem to be the problem.
Transmitter Code:
#include "SoftwareSerial.h"
int count = 1;
// RX: Arduino pin 2, XBee pin DOUT. TX: Arduino pin 3, XBee pin DIN
SoftwareSerial XBee(2, 3);
void setup() {
XBee.begin(115200);
Serial.println ("Initializing...");
}
void loop() {
XBee.write(count);
delay(1000);
count++;
}
Receiver Code:
#include "SoftwareSerial.h"
// RX: Arduino pin 2, XBee pin DOUT. TX: Arduino pin 3, XBee pin DIN
SoftwareSerial XBee(2, 3);
void setup() {
// put your setup code here, to run once:
Serial.begin(115200);
Serial.println("Started Ground station");
XBee.begin(115200);
}
void loop() {
// put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
if (XBee.available())
{
int c = XBee.read();
Serial.println(c);
delay(1000);
}
else
{
Serial.println("XBee not available.");
delay(1000);
}
}
I just want the receiver to print the counter as it is. Not sure why I am getting those random numbers after 15. Any help is appreciated.
The incorrect numbers are different by one bit.
This could be caused by different timing when reading the serial line, especially at high baud rates (Software serial isn't particularly reliable at the higher baud rates). You can see where a bit has drifted into the timing for an adjacent bit e.g.
16 = 0001 0000 was interpreted as 0011 0000 = 48
18 = 0001 0010 was interpreted as 0011 0010 = 50
20 = 0001 0100 was interpreted as 0011 0100 = 52
27 = 0001 1011 was interpreted as 0011 1011 = 59
34 = 0010 0010 was interpreted as 0110 0010 = 98
Try using a lower baud rate so that the timing isn't as critical and the bits are less likely to drift into the timing for adjacent bits.

why round-trip time different between two test host?

I have written one http put client(use libcurl libarary) to put file into apache webdav server, and use tcpdump catch the packet at the server side, then use tcptrace (www.tcptrace.org) to analysis the dump file, below is the result:

According the result above, the RTT of client to server is small, but the server side to client side is large. Can anyone help explain this from me?
Because this

a->b is sending a steady flow of data, which ensures buffers get filled and things get pushed.
b->a is only sending a few acks etc, doing next to nothing at all, so as a result things get left in buffers for a while (a few ms).
In addition to that, RTT is round trip time. It's the time from when the application queues a packet for sending and when the corresponding response is received. Since the host on a is busy pushing data, and probably filling its own buffers, there's going to be a small amount of additional overhead for something from b to get acknowledged.
Firstly host b sent very little data (a very small sample size). Secondly, I suspect that host a has an asymmetrical Internet connection (e.g. 10MB/1MB).
