***** IEEE STANDARD DOCUMENT INFORMATION *****
The IEEE Computer Society Society/Standard for Ethernet invites you to participate in the Revision Sponsor Ballot for:
P802.3
Title: Standard for Ethernet
Scope: This standard defines Ethernet local area, access and metropolitan area networks. Ethernet is specified at
selected speeds of operation; and uses a common media access control (MAC) specification and management
information base (MIB). The Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD)
MAC protocol specifies shared medium (half duplex) operation, as well as full duplex operation. Speed specific
Media Independent Interfaces (MIIs) provide an architectural and optional implementation interface to
selected Physical Layer entities (PHY). The Physical Layer encodes frames for transmission and decodes
received frames with the modulation specified for the speed of operation, transmission medium and supported
link length. Other specified capabilities include: control and management protocols, and the provision
of power over selected twisted pair PHY types.
