IEEE Standards for Local and Metropolitan Area Networks


Book Description

This document provides an overview to the family of IEEE 802 Standards, defines compliance with the family of IEEE 802 Standards, describes the relationship of the IEEE 802 Standards to the Open Systems Interconnections Basic Reference Model (ISO 7498:1984) and explains the relationship of these standards to the higher layer protocols, and provides a standard for identification of public, private, and standard protocols.




IEEE Standard for Local and Metropolitan Area Networks


Book Description

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 defines compliance with the family of IEEE 802 Standards; it describes the relationship of the IEEE 802 Standards 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.




LANS


Book Description

This practical guide to the technology and implementation of local area networks (LANs) using IEEE standards covers manufacturing automation protocol (MAP) and technical office protocol (TOP). Compatibility problems that arise when implementing LANs are discussed, and special attention is given to tools for managing the networks and to bridge and gateway strategies for linking to larger networks.




IEEE Standards for Local and Metropolitan Area Networks


Book Description

Management information and procedures applicable across the entire family of IEEE 802 LAN/MAN standards within the architectural framework for LAN/MAN Management specified in IEEE Std 802-1990 are identified. Common management information, such as attributes to represent MAC address and managed objects to represent configurable gauges, are specified. The need of developers of LAN/MAN management specifications for common procedures to develop, describe, and register management information is addressed.




IEEE Standard for Local and Metropolitan Area Networks


Book Description

Abstract: The MAC service provided by all IEEE 802 MACs along with the Internal Sublayer Service (ISS) that is provided by IEEE 802 MACs to the relay function of a Media Access Control (MAC) Bridge are defined in this standard. Keywords: IEEE 802, IEEE 802.1AC, Internal Sublayer Service, ISS, local area networks, MAC Service, metropolitan area networks.




IEEE Std 802.1t-2001


Book Description

This amendment to IEEE Std 802.1D, 1998 edition is intended to document maintenance items identified in the text of IEEE Std 802.1D, 1998 edition (ISO/IEC 15802-3:1998). The document identifies any proposed changes to the text that have arisen as a consequence of maintenance activity. These are documented in the usual form for amendments to 802 standards; i.e. as an explicit set of editing instructions that, if correctly applied to the text of ISO/IEC 15802-3:1998, will create a corrected document.

Keywords: broadband wireless access (BWA), MAN, microwave, mobile, multihop relay, OFDM, OFDMA, radio, standard, wireless access systems (WAS), WirelessMAN, wireless metropolitan area network.




IEEE Standards for Local and Metropolitan Area Networks


Book Description

Abstract for 802.10e-1993: A method to allow Ethernet V2.0 Media Access Control (MAC) Protocol Data Units (PDUs) to be protected with the Secure Data Exchange (SDE) protocol is provided. Abstract for 802.10f-1993: A set of managed object classes to be used in the management of the Secure Data Exchange(SDE) sublayer and its protocol exchanges is specified.
