BS ISO 21111-6:2021

What is ISO 21111‑6 about?  

ISO 21111‑6 is the sixth part of the multi-series standard that specifies advanced features of an ISO/IEC/IEEE 8802-3 automotive Ethernet PHY (often also called transceiver), e.g. for diagnostic purposes for automotive Ethernet PHYs. 

ISO 21111‑6 specifies: 

• Advanced PHY features 
• Wake-up and sleep features 
• PHY test suite 
• PHY control IUT requirements and conformance test plan 
• PCS test suite 
• PCS IUT requirements and conformance test plan 
• PMA test suite 
• PMA IUT requirements and conformance test plan 

Who is ISO 21111‑6 for? 

ISO 21111‑6 on Electrical 100-Mbit/s physical entity requirements and conformance test plan— In-vehicle Ethernet is applicable to: 

• Vehicle manufacturers  
• Ethernet service providers  
• Network systems designers 
• Internet providers 

Why should you use ISO 21111‑6?  

Cars are becoming smart and connected so internet connection is an important part of modern cars. ISO 21111‑6 specifies advanced features of an ISO/IEC/IEEE 8802-3 in-vehicle Ethernet physical layer (often also called transceiver), e.g. for diagnostic purposes for in-vehicle Ethernet physical layers. 

ISO 21111‑6 specifies advanced physical layer features, wake-up and sleep features, physical layer test suite, physical layer control requirements and conformance test plan, physical sublayers test suite, and physical sublayers requirements and conformance test plan. This will help you in improving the ethernet quality and conformance.
