Full Description

Scope

This standard specifies Media Access Control (MAC) Bridges that interconnect individual Local Area Networks (LANs), each supporting the IEEE 802 MAC service using a different or identical media access control method, to provide Bridged Local Area Networks and Virtual LANs (VLANs).

Purpose

Bridges are increasingly used to interconnect devices that support scheduled applications (e.g., industrial automation, process control and vehicle control). This amendment will provide performance assurances of latency and delivery variation to enable these applications in an engineered LAN while maintaining the existing guarantees for the credit-based shaper and best-effort traffic.

Abstract

Amendment Standard - Active.Enhancements to the forwarding process that supports scheduled traffic is provided in this amendment to IEEE Std 802.1Q-2014.
