Elaborate correct number for max_attr_records in aci_gatt_add_serv

I'm struggling to get some detailed information on how to determine the correct number for the max_attr_records value of the aci_gatt_add_serv() function.

I know that you need 1 for the service itself and then at least 2 for each characteristic, but what else requires an attribute record?

Let say I have the following characteristic

aci_gatt_add_char(hServiceConfiguration, UUID_TYPE_128, uuid, 6,

                                          CHAR_PROP_NOTIFY|CHAR_PROP_READ|CHAR_PROP_WRITE, ATTR_PERMISSION_ENCRY_WRITE,

                                          GATT_NOTIFY_READ_REQ_AND_WAIT_FOR_APPL_RESP,

                                          16, 0 , &hCharTripConf);

What would be the resulting number of attribute records? I came up with 4, but I'm not sure if that's correct.

Further, there seems to be a limit for the total attribute records as I can only add a quite limited amount of services. How is this limit defined?

    The Characteristic Extended Properties declaration is a descriptor that defines additional Characteristic Properties.

    It describes additional properties on how the Characteristic Value can be used, or how the characteristic descriptors can be accessed.

    Currently supported properties:

    • Reliable Write : If set, permits reliable writes of the Characteristic Value
    • Writable Auxiliaries: If set, permits writes to the characteristic descriptor

    @Winfred LU​  Thank you very much for the clarification!

    I have two other rather important issues, do you think you could may have a look at them?
