Conformance     [Top]
Clause 4 - MAC Test Suite [Top]
Revision: 5.2
Status: Fully Documented (Active)
Testing Days Needed: 3 Days
Abstract: This test suite deals with Reception issues such as CRC Errors, Framing Errors, Length Errors, Fragments, etc. as well as Transmission issues, proper spacing, proper preamble and SFD, For Half Duplex devices this also includes collisions, deference, etc. This suite of tests has been developed to help implementers evaluate the functioning of their Clause 4 Media Access Control (MAC) based products. The tests do not determine if a product conforms to the IEEE 802.3, nor are they purely interoperability tests. Rather, they provide one method to isolate problems within a MAC device. Successful completion of all tests contained in this suite does not guarantee that the tested device will operate with other devices. However, combined with satisfactory operation in the IOL's interoperability test bed, these tests provide a reasonable level of confidence that the Device Under Test (DUT) will function well in most environments.

Clause 31 Flow Control Test Suite [Top]
Revision: 1.5
Status: Fully Documented (Active)
Testing Days Needed: 2 days
Abstract: This suite of tests has been developed to help implementers evaluate the functioning of their Clause 31 Flow Control (PAUSE) implementations. The tests do not determine if a product conforms to the IEEE 802.3, nor are they purely interoperability tests. Rather, they provide one method to isolate problems within an implementation. Successful completion of all tests contained in this suite does not guarantee that the tested device will operate with other devices. However, combined with satisfactory operation in the IOL's interoperability test bed, these tests provide a reasonable level of confidence that the Device Under Test (DUT) will function well in most environments.
Notes: Previous versions of this test suite include: v1.3, v1.2, Gigabit Ethernet 1000BASE-X: v1997_JUNE, v1999_JULY, v1.0, v1.1.
