 We are sending a data using Nordic UART Service (NUS), the data is transferred over BLE as a Indication. 
 From Message Sequence Chart in Nordic Infocenter
 
 Here it shows ATT Handle Value Confirmation(blue arrow from PEER to SD).

&lt;p&gt;The idea behind the indication is that is has to be confirmed by the application, the SoftDevice won&amp;#39;t do it for you.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To do so you have to call the &lt;a href="http://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/com.nordic.infocenter.s132.api.v5.0.0/group___b_l_e___g_a_t_t_c___f_u_n_c_t_i_o_n_s.html?cp=2_3_1_1_0_2_2_2_7#ga173e2d16c9bbd24dcf2c724ded6708a5"&gt;sd_ble_gattc_hv_confirm(..)&lt;/a&gt; function, after receiving the BLE_GATTC_EVT_HVX event.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The main purpose of indications is to allow the application to confirm the packet only after it has fully processed the data, and completed any operations associated with it.&lt;br /&gt;
If quick and efficient data transfer is more important I would recommend using notifications instead, you still have a link layer ACK to avoid packet loss/corruption.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Best regards&lt;br /&gt;
