IEEE Background
Institution of Electrical and Electronic
Engineering (IEEE)
A professional non-profit organization
Project group 802 under IEEE
Entrusted with the task of setting standards relating
to physical and logical links of nodes in a network
Standard mostly applies to the Physical and
Data Link layers
Example
IEEE 802.3 standard for the Ethernet bus network
IEEE 802 Focus
OSI Reference
Data Link layer
Physical layer
Areas of applications
Network cards and cables
WAN connectivity etc.
Different subgroups under 802 that focus
on different activities of the LAN
IEEE 802 Subgroups and their
Responsibilities
802.1

802 Layers - Physical
Encoding/decoding
Preamble generation/removal
Bit transmission/reception
Transmission medium and topology
Logical Link Control
Flow control, Error control,& part of the framing
Transmission of link level PDUs between two stations
Must support multiaccess, shared medium
Relieved of some link access details by MAC layer
LLC defines PDU similar to HDLC
Addressing involves specifying source and destination
LLC users
Referred to as service access points (SAP)

Fast Ethernet physical layer
Goal of Fast Ethernet
Upgrade the data rate to 100 Mbps
Compatible with standard Ethernet
Same 48-bit address
Same frame format
Same Min & Max frame lenths
MAC sublayer
For full-duplex no need of CSMA/CD
Autonegotiation
- Allows station or a hub a range of
capabilities
- Allow to negotiate the mode or data rate
of operation
