ATM Testing

(continued )

ATM Adaptation Layer (AAL)

The Agilent Advisor provides decodes for AAL-1 through AAL-5. Decodes are

also included for AAL-2 Common Part Sublayer (AAL-2 CPS to ITU-T I.363.2)

and AAL-2 Service Specific Segmentation and Reassembly sublayer (AAL-2

SSSAR to ITU-T I.366.1). Note: AAL-1 & AAL-2 decodes are not currently

supported at 622 Mb/s. The Decode screen in figure 1 depicts an AAL-2

sublayer.

AAL – 1

Fields decoded:

CSI

Sequence number

CRC

Parity

Payload

Errors detected and displayed:

ATM SDU not 48 bytes long

Invalid sequence number

Invalid parity

Invalid CRC-3

AAL – 2

CPS (Common Part Sublayer)

Fields decoded:

CPS-PDU start field (STF)

- OSF (Offset field)

- SN (Sequence number)

- P (Parity)

CPS-Packet (one or more)

CPS- Packet Header (CPS-PH)

- CID Channel identifier

- LI Length Indicator

- UUI (User to user indication)

- HEC

CPS-Packet Payload (CPS-PP)

CPS-INFO

Padding

Errors detected and displayed:

STF Parity error

STF Sequence number error

Number of octets expected in the

CPS packet does not match with

the STF field

Error in the OSF value (>=48)

Error in HEC

Length of received packet is incorrect.

Errors in reassembly.

Invalid value in UUI
