40 FDDI MAC Facilities (Continued)

421 PDU Fields

Start of Frame Sequence

The Start of Frame Sequence (SFS) consists of the Pream-

ble (PA) followed by the Starting Delimiter (SD)

The Preamble is a sequence of zero or more Idle symbols

that is used to separate the PDUs The Ring Engine Receiv-

er can process and repeat a frame or token with no pream-

ble The Ring Engine Transmitter generates frames with at

least 8 bytes of preamble The Ring Engine Transmitter also

guarantees that valid FDDI frames will never be transmitted

with more than 40 bytes of preamble

The Starting Delimiter is used to indicate the start of a new

PDU The Starting Delimiter is the JK symbol pair

The Ring Engine expects the Starting Delimiter to be con-

veyed across the PH

Indication Interface as a single byte

Similarly the Ring Engine only generates Starting Delimiters

aligned to the byte boundary

Frame Control

The Frame Control (FC) field is used to discriminate PDUs

For tokens the FC field identifies Restricted and Non-re-

stricted tokens For frames the FC field identifies the frame

types and format and how the frame is to be processed

The one byte FC field is formatted as shown in

Figure 4-3

ZZZ

FIGURE 4-3 Frame Control Field

The C (Class) bit specifies the MAC Service Class as Asyn-

chronous (C e 0) or Synchronous (C e 1)

The L (Length) bit specifies the length of the MAC Address

as Short (L e 0) or Long (L e 1) A Short Address is a 16-

bit address A Long Address is a 48-bit address

The FF (Format) bits specify the PDU types as shown in

Table 4-3

The r (Reserved) bit is currently not specified and should

always be transmitted as Zero (Exception

SMT NSA

Frames)

The ZZZ (Control) bits are used in conjunction with the C

and FF bits to specify the type of PDUs These bits may be

used to affect protocol processing criteria such as the Priori-

ty Protocol Class Status Handling etc

Destination Address

The Destination Address (DA) field is used to specify the

station(s) that should receive and process the frame

The DA can be an Individual or Group address This is de-

termined by the Most Significant Bit of the DA (DAIG)

When DAIG is 0 the DA is an Individual Address when

DAIG is 1 the DA is a Group Address The BroadcastUni-

versal address is a Group Address

The DA field can be a Long or Short Address This is deter-

mined by the L bit in the FC field (FCL) If FCL is 1 the DA

is a 48-bit Long Address If FCL is 0 the DA is a 16-bit

Short Address

The Ring Engine maintains both a 16-bit Individual Address

My Short Address (MSA) and a 48-bit Individual Address

My Long Address (MLA)

On the receive side if DAIG is 0 the incoming DA is com-

pared with MLA (if FCL e 1) or MSA (if FCL e 0) If the

received DA matches MLA or MSA the frame is intended for

this station and the address recognized flag (A

Flag) is set

If DAIG is 1 the DA is a Group Address and is compared

with the set of Group Addresses recognized by the Ring

Engine If a match occurs the address recognized flag

Flag) is set The A

Flag is used by system inter-

face logic as part of the criteria (with FCL DAIG and

Flag) to determine whether or not to copy the frame If

the A

flag is set the system interface will normally attempt

to copy the frame

On the transmit side the DA is provided by the system inter-

face logic as part of the data stream The length of the

address to be transmitted is determined by the L bit of the

FC field (The FC field is also passed in the data stream)

The Destination Address can be an Individual Group or

Broadcast Address

Source Address

The Source Address (SA) field is used to specify the ad-

dress of the station that originally transmitted the frame
