IEEE Std 1802.3-1991 -Description

Abstract: Methods for conformance testing to satisfy requirements arising from the 8802-3 standard are defined. The conformance test suite is intended to detect incorrect implementations of the 8802-3 [802.3] standard. It is comprised of two categories of test groups. The first category relates to basic interconnection testing and the second to capability and behavior testing. The test setups, adapters, and instruments used are described.
