D.1.7 Services Provided to PLS

Please indicate if the implementation provides the following services to the PLS sub-

layer (see § 4.3.3 of the base standard).

D.1.8 Services Provided to LLC

Please indicate if the implementation provides the following services to the LLC sub-

layer (see § 4.3.2 of the base standard).

D.1.9 MAC Parameter Values

From the base standard:

4.4.1 Compatibility Overview.

To provide a total compatibility at all levels of the

standard, it is required that each network component

implementing the CSMA/CD MAC sublayer procedure adheres

rigidly to these specifications. The information in

4.4.2.1 provides design parameters for a specific

implementation of this access method. Variations from

these values result in a system implementation that

violates the standard.

The following values control the internal operation of the MAC protocol. If the

implementation uses these values, enter a “Y” after the parameter name. Otherwise,

enter the value that the implementation uses (see COSSS spec § 6.4.4.2).
