Sorry but I don't understand the answer. I think that the daemon needs to guess the remote end point to connect to when the user performs a connection of a data channel to a device (I mean the mdepid where the data channel will be connected). In HDP each data channel can be configured in a specific way (reliable or streaming) and is connected for an specific usage (that's the data type parameter in the SDP record) so you have to specify this during the connection of the channel. An other thing to solve is the way that the data channel deletion is notified if there is no associated agent, I mean, if you just do a Connect without registering an agent first. This kind of events are supposed to be received by the agent. An other special issue of HDP, data channels can be open or closed but they are still active because reconnections are possible and this implies no disconnection for the application layer. > > At least that is the idea around connect/disconnect in gnome-bluetooth > and N900 bluetooth application does have a similar design. I don't know how this is exactly working (I'll have a deeper look), but I guess that only one agent is allowed. I think that will be great to have multiple agents in HDP because more than one application can be using HDP at the same time. I don't know if with only one agent this can be solved.
