4-3 Figure 4-1: A Short History of Ethernet Standards • Ethernet – The dominant wired LAN technology today – Only “competitor” is wireless LANs (which actually are supplementary) • The IEEE 802 Committee – LAN standards development is done primarily by the Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) – IEEE created the 802 LAN/MAN Standards Committee for LAN standards (the 802 Committee)
Figure 4-1: A Short History of Ethernet standards The 802 Committee creates working groups for specific types of standards 802. 1 for general standards 802.3 for ethernet standards The terms 802. 3 and ethernet are interchangeable 802 11 for wireless lan standards 802.16 for WiMax wireless metropolitan area network standards
4-4 Figure 4-1: A Short History of Ethernet Standards • The 802 Committee creates working groups for specific types of standards – 802.1 for general standards – 802.3 for Ethernet standards • The terms 802.3 and Ethernet are interchangeable – 802.11 for wireless LAN standards – 802.16 for WiMax wireless metropolitan area network standards
Figure 4-1: A Short History of Ethernet standards Ethernet standards are osi Standards Single networks, including LANS, are governed by physical and data link layer standards Layer 1 and Layer 2 standards are almost universally OSI standards Ethernet is no exception The IEEE makes 802.3 standards: Iso ratifies them In practice, when 802.3 finishes standards, vendors begin building compliant products 4-5
