A set of network standards developed by the IEEE. They include: IEEE 802.1: Standards related to network management.

. IEEE 802.2: General standard for the data link layer in the OSI Reference Model. The IEEE divides this layer into two sublayers -- thelogical link control (LLC) layer and the media access control (MAC) layer. The MAC layer varies for different network types and is defined by standards IEEE 802.3 through IEEE 802.5. IEEE 802.3: Defines the MAC layer for bus networks that useCSMA/CD. This is the basis of the Ethernet standard. Also see theEthernet Designations chart in the Quick Reference section of Webopedia. IEEE 802.4: Defines the MAC layer for bus networks that use a token-passing mechanism (token bus networks). IEEE 802.5: Defines the MAC layer for token-ring networks. IEEE 802.6: Standard for Metropolitan Area Networks (MANs).

The 802 Project Model


When local area networks (LANs) first began to emerge as potential business tools in the late 1970s, the IEEE realized that there was a need to define certain LAN standards. To accomplish this task, the IEEE launched what became known as Project 802, named for the year and month it began (1980, February).

Although the published IEEE 802 standards actually predated the ISO standards, both were in development at roughly the same time, and both shared information that resulted in the creation of two compatible models. Project 802 defined network standards for the physical components of a network (the interface card and the cabling) that are accounted for in the physical and data-link layers of the OSI reference model. The 802 specifications set standards for:

Network interface cards (NICs). Wide area network (WAN) components. Components used to create twisted-pair and coaxial cable networks.

The 802 specifications define the ways NICs access and transfer data over physical media. These include connecting, maintaining, and disconnecting network devices.

IEEE 802 Categories

The LAN standards defined by the 802 committees are classified into 16 categories that can be identified by their 802 number as shown in Table 5.2: Table 5.2 802 Specification Categories

Specification 802.1 802.2

Description Sets Internetworking standards related to network management. Defines the general standard for the data-link layer. The IEEE divides this layer into two sublayers: the LLC and MAC layers (discussed in the previous lesson). The MAC layer varies with different network types and is defined by standard IEEE 802.3. Defines the MAC layer for bus networks that use Carrier-Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD). This is the Ethernet Standard. Defines the MAC layer for bus networks that use a token-passing mechanism (Token Bus LAN).

802.3

802.4

802.5 802.6

Defines the MAC layer for token ring networks (Token Ring LAN). Sets standards for metropolitan area networks (MANs), which are data networks designed for towns or cities. In terms of geographic breadth, MANs are larger than LANs, but smaller than WANs. MANs are usually characterized by very-high-speed connections using fiber-optic cables or other digital media. Used by the Broadband Technical Advisory Group. Used by the Fiber-Optic Technical Advisory Group. Defines integrated voice/data networks. Defines network security. Defines wireless network standards. Defines Demand Priority Access LAN, 100BaseVG-AnyLAN. Unused. Defines cable modem standards. Defines wireless personal area networks (WPAN). Defines broadband wireless standards.
