Full Description

Scope

This document serves as the foundation for the family of IEEE 802(R)1 Standards published by IEEE for Local Area Networks (LANs) and Metropolitan Area Networks (MANs). It contains descriptions of the networks considered as well as a reference model (RM) for protocol standards. Compliance with the family of IEEE 802 Standards is defined, and a standard for the identification of public, private, and standard protocols is included.

Abstract

Revision Standard - Superseded.IEEE Std 802-2001, IEEE Standards for Local and Metropolitan Area Networks: Overview and Architecture, provides an overview to the family of IEEE 802 Standards. It definescompliance with the family of IEEE 802 Standards; it describes the relationship of the IEEE 802Standards to the Open Systems Interconnection Basic Reference Model [ISO/IEC 7498-1:1994]and explains the relationship of these standards to the higher layer protocols; it provides a standard for the structure of LAN MAC addresses; and it provides a standard for identification of public, private, and standard protocols.
