Abstract :
The protocol conformance test system (PCTS) is the principal facility used to verify the conformance between the communication protocol implementation and its international standard. We first discuss the importance and function of reference implementation (RI) in the PCTS, and give a general abstract model of the RI with the method of object-oriented design (OOD). After introducing the UNIX STREAMS mechanism, we present the basic abstract model for developing the RI in a UNIX kernel, and introduce the IP/X25 RI, which is implemented with this model, as a example
