Information technology - Fibre distributed data interface (FDDI) - Part 20: Abstract test suite for FDDI physical medium dependent conformance testing (PMD ATS)

The Fibre Distributed Data Interface (FDDI), ISO/IEC 9314, is intended for use in a high performance general purpose multistation network and is designed for efficient operation with a peak data rate of 100 Mbit/s. It uses a Token Ring Architecture with optical fibre as the transmission medium. FDDI provides for hundreds of stations operating over an extent of tens of kilometres. The FDDI Physical Media Dependent (PMD) standard, ISO/IEC 9314-3, specifies the lower sublayer of the Physical Layer for the FDDI, including the optical interface for multimode fibre FDDI stations. This part of ISO/IEC 9314 is an abstract test suite (ATS) conformance test for FDDI PMD. ISO/IEC 9314-3 specifies the optical interface of FDDI stations; it is not a protocol standard and this part of ISO/IEC 9314 requires the measurement of physical quantities such as optical power, wavelength and signal jitter. The intent of this part of ISO/IEC 9314 is to specify the tests as broadly as possible to allow measurement by various detailed test implementations.

INTRODUCTION
The Fibre Distributed Data Interface (FDDI), ISO/IEC 9314, is intended for use in a high
performance general purpose multistation network and is designed for efficient operation with
a peak data rate of 100 Mbit/s. It uses a Token Ring Architecture with optical fibre as the
transmission medium. FDDI provides for hundreds of stations operating over an extent of tens
of kilometres.
The FDDI Physical Media Dependent (PMD) standard, ISO/IEC 9314-3, specifies the lower
sublayer of the Physical Layer for the FDDI, including the optical interface for multimode fibre
FDDI stations. This part of ISO/IEC 9314 is an abstract test suite (ATS) conformance test for
FDDI PMD. ISO/IEC 9314-3 specifies the optical interface of FDDI stations. ISO/IEC 9314-3 is
not a protocol standard and this part of ISO/IEC 9314 requires the measurement of physical
quantities such as optical power, wavelength and signal jitter. The intent of this part of
ISO/IEC 9314 is to specify the tests as broadly as possible to allow measurement by various
detailed test implementations. The ATS in this part of ISO/IEC 9314 differs from the
methodology of higher level protocol conformance tests written using the Tree and Tabular
Combined Notation (TTCN) because TTCN does not provide for Physical Layer testing, where
there is no concept of a protocol data unit and where physical quantities must be measured.
Four other ISO/IEC standards provide a complete conformance test of an FDDI station:
a) An ATS for the FDDI Physical Layer Protocol (PHY) that provides a conformance test for
FDDI PHY, ISO 9314-1. ISO 9314-1 specifies the upper sublayer of the Physical Layer for
the FDDI, including the data encode/decode, framing and clocking, as well as the elasticity
buffer, smoothing and repeat filter functions. FDDI PHY, however, does contain several
state machines and implements a protocol at the level of FDDI code symbols. The only
physical quantity that is measured in this conformance test is frequency. The PHY ATS
cannot use the TTCN notation and a notation is developed in the PHY ATS for specifying
test patterns and expected results in terms of FDDI code symbol strings.
b) An ATS for FDDI Media Access Control (MAC), ISO 9314-2, that provides a conformance
test for FDDI MAC. ISO 9314-2 specifies the lower sublayer of the Data Link Layer for
FDDI. It specifies access to the medium, including addressing, data checking and data
framing. ISO 9314-2 also specifies the receiver and transmitter state machines. Since
MAC is primarily with complete PDUs, the TTCN language is used to specify MAC protocol
tests. Provisions of ISO/IEC 9314-2, however, require high resolution timing that may be
difficult to achieve in commercial protocol testers.
c) An ATS for FDDI Station Management (SMT), ISO/IEC 9314-6, that provides a
conformance test for FDDI SMT. ISO/IEC 9314-6 specifies the local portion of the system
management application process for FDDI, including the control required for proper
operation of an FDDI station in an FDDI ring. SMT provides services such as connection
management, station insertion and removal, station initialization, configuration manage-
ment and fault recovery, communications protocol for external authority, scheduling
policies and the collection of statistics. SMT interacts with PMD, PHY and MAC.
Therefore, an ATS for portions of SMT that use MAC PDUs can be specified in TTCN,
while other portions require other approaches.
d) A Conformance Test Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS) Proforma,
ISO/IEC 9314-13, for FDDI that provides a statement of the mandatory and optional
requirements of each of the four FDDI base standards. The PICS proforma is used to
identify requirements for conformance testing and to specify optional functionality
requirements, particularly by workshops for functional standards and profiles.

1 Scope
This part of ISO/IEC 9314 specifies a series of tests in order to verify conformance of FDDI
stations to the requirements of ISO/IEC 9314-3:1990.
NOTE ISO/IEC 9314-3 specifies the requirements for the optical input/output port of FDDI stations as well as for
–10
cable plants. It states that a bit error rate for a station-to-station link should not exceed 2,5 × 10 for conforming
stations connected to each other through a conforming cable plant.
