Configurable MTU: Do we still need long writes ?

Question

Hello 
 I noticed that since S132 v3.x.x we can configure the MTU. Does all the posts referring to long writes in this forum apply to the situation before this feature ? 
 thanks

It can happen if you don't change the ATT MTU, or if you change it to an ATT MTU that is shorter than the characteristic value. Not all peers support configuring the ATT MTU, and not all peers allows changing it to anything. Having a larger ATT MTU requires more memory, for one thing.

Ok. I just wanted to check. You don't need long writes to send more than 20 bytes to the peripheral, but it is one way of doing it. You need long writes to write to the part of characteristic values that are longer than the ATT MTU, and if you want to do a write with an offset. 
 Could you elaborate a bit on what your question is? Which post are you referring to? Which situation?
