Summary

This Recommendation specifies a payload format and link layer procedures for Phoneline Networking Transceiver (PNT) devices. It assumes the use of Medium Access Control (MAC) and encapsulation procedures defined in ITU-T Rec. G.989.1.

Requirements in this Recommendation are intended to ensure interoperability between devices. They are written from the perspective of a conforming transmitter, although some minimum performance requirements are established for receivers.
