Full title and description
Information technology — International Standardized Profile RD — Relaying the MAC service using transparent bridging — Part 9: Profile RD53.54 (Token Ring LAN - FDDI LAN). This document specifies a profile that combines OSI base standards to provide a MAC relay function for interworking units operating between Token Ring and FDDI LAN subnetworks.
Abstract
Defines Profile RD53.54: the required selection and combination of OSI base standards and constraints necessary to relay the MAC service using transparent bridging between Token Ring and FDDI local area networks. Intended for interworking units operating in an OSI environment to provide MAC-level relay (transparent bridging) between those subnetworks.

Scope
This part of the ISP 10612 series specifies the RD53.54 profile: the combination of OSI base standards and the conformance constraints necessary for a MAC relay function implemented via transparent bridging between Token Ring and FDDI LAN subnetworks. It is applicable to interworking units that operate in the OSI Local Area Network environment and that must forward MAC service between those specific subnetwork types.
Key topics and requirements
- Definition of profile RD53.54 for Token Ring ↔ FDDI MAC service relaying.
- Selection and combination of OSI base standards needed for the MAC relay function.
- Conformance constraints and static/dynamic conformance requirements for interworking units.
- Interworking considerations specific to Token Ring and FDDI physical and MAC characteristics.
- Normative annex listing base standards and options that make up the profile requirements.
Typical use and users
Network equipment vendors, protocol implementers, and systems integrators building or validating interworking units and transparent-bridging solutions between Token Ring and FDDI LANs. Also used by national standards bodies and testing laboratories when assessing conformance to the ISP RD profiles.
Related standards
This document is Part 9 of the ISO/IEC ISP 10612 series (Relaying the MAC service using transparent bridging). Other parts of the series cover subnetwork-independent requirements and profiles for other subnetwork combinations (for example Parts 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 for various CSMA/CD, Token Ring and FDDI pairings). The ISO/IEC text was also adopted into EN/EVS national implementations and subsequently withdrawn in the European catalogue lifecycle.

FAQ
Q: What is this standard?
A: ISO/IEC ISP 10612-9:1995 is Part 9 of the International Standardized Profile (ISP) 10612 series specifying Profile RD53.54 for relaying the MAC service using transparent bridging between Token Ring and FDDI LANs.
Q: What does it cover?
A: It covers the selection and constraints on OSI base standards and the conformance requirements (static and dynamic) necessary for a MAC relay (transparent bridge) that interworks Token Ring and FDDI subnetworks.
Q: Who typically uses it?
A: Equipment vendors, protocol implementers, integrators, test laboratories, and national standards bodies involved with LAN interworking and conformance testing for Token Ring and FDDI environments.
Q: Is it current or superseded?
A: The document was published in June 1995 and is recorded as withdrawn in the ISO lifecycle (withdrawal stage). European adoptions (EN/EVS) based on this part were also withdrawn in subsequent catalogue reviews. Therefore it should be treated as not current for new deployments; consult current ISO/IEC publications or national catalogues for any replacement documents or updated profiles.
Q: Is it part of a series?
A: Yes — it is Part 9 of ISO/IEC ISP 10612 (the ISP 10612 series) which contains multiple parts addressing subnetwork-independent requirements and specific subnetwork pair profiles for relaying the MAC service using transparent bridging.
Q: What are the key keywords?
A: RD53.54, MAC relay, transparent bridging, Token Ring, FDDI, ISP 10612, OSI, interworking unit, conformance requirements.
