D.1.6 MAC Internal Processes

Implemented: Y

D.1.5.8 Order of Bit Transmission

The implementation shall send each octet of the MAC frame (with the exception of the

frame check sequence), low order bit first. The implementation shall send the bits of the

FCS in the order χ

, χ

, ..., χ

, χ

(see § 3.2.8).

Implemented: Y

D.1.5.9 Overlength Frames

How does the implementation deal with incoming frames that are no longer than

maxFrameSize, but are otherwise correctly formed (see § 4.2.4.2.1)?

D.1.5.10 Invalid MAC Frames

The implementation shall not pass frames with the following errors to the LLC (see §

3.4).
