The Bluetooth Network Encapsulation Protocol Specification describes the protocol to be used by Bluetooth profiles such as Personal Area Networking Profile. This document defines a packet format for Bluetooth network encapsulation used to transport common networking protocols over the Bluetooth media. Bluetooth network encapsulation supports the same networking protocols that are supported by IEEE 802.3/Ethernet encapsulation. Packets from the supported networking protocols are contained in Bluetooth network encapsulation packets, which are transported directly over the Bluetooth L2CAP protocol.

Errata Correction 23224 is mandatory when claiming compliance to Bluetooth Network Encapsulation Protocol 1.0.
