The Bluetooth Asynchronous Connection-oriented logical transport (ACL) is one of two types of logical transport defined in the Bluetooth Core Specification, either BR/EDR ACL or LE ACL. BR/EDR ACL is the ACL logical transport variant used with Bluetooth Basic Rate/Enhanced Data Rate (BR/EDR, also known as Bluetooth Classic) whilst LE ACL is the ACL logical transport variant used with Bluetooth Low Energy (LE).
The ACL transports are part of the Bluetooth data transport architecture.
Note that all definitions of Bluetooth terminology, protocols and procedures including ACL are defined in the Bluetooth Core Specification which is published by the standards development organisation, the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (Bluetooth SIG).
