  • If you configure a connected isochronous stream (CIS) connection between Central and Peripheral nodes, this field specifies the CIS statistics as a structure. If multiple CIS connections exist at a node, this field is an array of structures, where each structure is associated with a CIS connection.

    The structure has these fields.
