ISO/IEC 8802-3:2000/ (E)
International Standard ISO/IEC 8802-3:2000 (E)
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical Commission)
form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are members of ISO or IEC
participate in the development of International Standards through technical committees established by the
respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity. ISO and IEC technical committees
collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in
liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the work.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3.
In the field of information technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical committee, ISO/IEC JTC 1.
Draft International Standards adopted by the joint technical committee are circulated to national bodies for voting.
Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the national bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this part of ISO/IEC 8802 may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO and IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard ISO/IEC 8802-3 was prepared by Joint Technical Committee ISO/IEC JTC 1, Information
technology, Subcommittee SC 6, Telecommunications and information exchange between systems.
This sixth edition cancels and replaces the fifth edition (ISO/IEC 8802-3:1996), which has been technically revised.
ISO/IEC 8802 consists of the following parts, under the general title Information technology — Telecommunications
and information exchange between systems — Local and metropolitan area networks — Specific requirements:
� Part 1: Overview of Local Area Network Standards
� Part 2: Logical link control
� Part 3: Carrier sense multiple access with collision detection (CSMA/CD) access method and physical layer
specifications
� Part 4: Token-passing bus access method and physical layer specifications
� Part 5: Token ring access method and physical layer specifications
� Part 6: Distributed Queue Dual Bus (DQDB) access method and physical layer specifications
� Part 9: Integrated Services (IS) LAN Interface at the Medium Access Control (MAC) and Physical (PHY)
Layers
� Part 11: Wireless LAN Medium Access Control (MAC) and Physical Layer (PHY) specifications
� Part 12: Demand-Priority access method, physical layer and repeater specifications
Annexes F to H, 23A, 27A to 28D, 30A to 31B and 43B form a normative part of this part of ISO/IEC 8802. Annexes
A to E, 22A to 22C, 23B, 23C, 29A, 29B, 32A, 36A, 36B, 38A, 40A to 40C, 43A and 43C are for information only.

IEEE Standards documents are developed within the IEEE Societies and the Standards Coordinat-
ing Committees of the IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA) Standards Board. Members of the
committees serve voluntarily and without compensation. They are not necessarily members of the
Institute. The standards developed within IEEE represent a consensus of the broad expertise on the
subject within the Institute as well as those activities outside of IEEE that have expressed an inter-
est in participating in the development of the standard.
Use of an IEEE Standard is wholly voluntary. The existence of an IEEE Standard does not imply
that there are no other ways to produce, test, measure, purchase, market, or provide other goods and
services related to the scope of the IEEE Standard. Furthermore, the viewpoint expressed at the
time a standard is approved and issued is subject to change brought about through developments in
the state of the art and comments received from users of the standard. Every IEEE Standard is sub-
jected to review at least every five years for revision or reaffirmation. When a document is more
than five years old and has not been reaffirmed, it is reasonable to conclude that its contents,
although still of some value, do not wholly reflect the present state of the art. Users are cautioned to
check to determine that they have the latest edition of any IEEE Standard.
Comments for revision of IEEE Standards are welcome from any interested party, regardless of
membership affiliation with IEEE. Suggestions for changes in documents should be in the form of a
proposed change of text, together with appropriate supporting comments.
Interpretations: Occasionally questions may arise regarding the meaning of portions of standards as
they relate to specific applications. When the need for interpretations is brought to the attention of
IEEE, the Institute will initiate action to prepare appropriate responses. Since IEEE Standards rep-
resent a consensus of all concerned interests, it is important to ensure that any interpretation has
also received the concurrence of a balance of interests. For this reason, IEEE and the members of its
societies and Standards Coordinating Committees are not able to provide an instant response to
interpretation requests except in those cases where the matter has previously received formal
consideration.
Comments on standards and requests for interpretations should be addressed to:
Secretary, IEEE-SA Standards Board

Note: Attention is called to the possibility that implementation of this standard may
require use of subject matter covered by patent rights. By publication of this standard,
no position is taken with respect to the existence or validity of any patent rights in
connection therewith. The IEEE shall not be responsible for identifying patents for
which a license may be required by an IEEE standard or for conducting inquiries into
the legal validity or scope of those patents that are brought to its attention.
IEEE is the sole entity that may authorize the use of certification marks, trademarks, or other desig-
nations to indicate compliance with the materials set forth herein.
Authorization to photocopy portions of any individual standard for internal or personal use is
granted by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc., provided that the appropriate
fee is paid to Copyright Clearance Center. To arrange for payment of licensing fee, please contact
Copyright Clearance Center, Customer Service, 222 Rosewood Drive, Danvers, MA 01923 USA;
(978) 750-8400. Permission to photocopy portions of any individual standard for educational class-
room use can also be obtained through the Copyright Clearance Center.

This family of standards deals with the Physical and Data Link layers as defined by the International
Organization for Standardization (ISO) Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Basic Reference Model
(ISO/IEC 7498-1: 1994). The access standards define seven types of medium access technologies and
associated physical media, each appropriate for particular applications or system objectives. Other types are
under investigation.
The standards defining the technologies noted above are as follows:
• IEEE Std 802 Overview and Architecture. This standard provides an overview to the
family of IEEE 802 Standards.
• ANSI/IEEE Std 802.1B LAN/MAN Management. Defines an OSI management-compatible
and 802.1k architecture, and services and protocol elements for use in a LAN/MAN
[ISO/IEC 15802-2] environment for performing remote management.
• ANSI/IEEE Std 802.1D Media Access Control (MAC) Bridges. Specifies an architecture and protocol
for the interconnection of IEEE 802 LANs below the MAC service boundary.

[ISO/IEC 15802-4] of management concerned with the loading of systems on IEEE 802 LANs.
• ANSI/IEEE Std 802.1F Common Definitions and Procedures for IEEE 802 Management Information.
• ANSI/IEEE Std 802.1G Remote Media Access Control (MAC) Bridging. Specifies extensions for the
[ISO/IEC 15802-5] interconnection, using non-LAN communication technologies, of geographically
separated IEEE 802 LANs below the level of the logical link control protocol.
