ISO/IEC DIS 8802-3/Amd.1
ANSI/IEEE Std 802.3ae
NOTE FROM ITTF
This draft International Standard is submitted for JTC 1 national body vote under the Fast-Track Procedure.
In accordance with Resolution 30 of the JTC 1 Berlin Plenary 1993, the proposer of this document recommends
assignment of ISO/IEC 8802-3 to JTC 1/SC 6.
“FAST-TRACK” PROCEDURE
1  Any P-member and any Category A liaison organization of ISO/IEC JTC 1 may propose that an existing
standard from any source be submitted directly for vote as a DIS. The criteria for proposing an existing
standard for the fast-track procedure are a matter for each proposer to decide.
2  The proposal shall be received by the ITTF which will take the following actions.
2.1  To settle the copyright and/or trade mark situation with the proposer, so that the proposed text can be
freely copied and distributed within JTC 1 without restriction.
2.2  To assess in consultation with the JTC 1 secretariat which SC is competent for the subject covered by
the proposed standard and to ascertain that there is no evident contradiction with other International
Standards.
2.3  To distribute the text of the proposed standard as a DIS. In case of particularly bulky documents the ITTF
may demand the necessary number of copies from the proposer.
3  The period for combined DIS voting shall be six months. In order to be accepted the DIS must be
supported by 75 % of the votes cast (abstention is not counted as a vote) and by two-thirds of the P-members
voting of JTC 1.
4  At the end of the voting period, the comments received, whether editorial only or technical, will be dealt
with by a working group appointed by the secretariat of the relevant SC.
5  If, after the deliberations of this WG, the requirements of 3 above are met, the amended text shall be sent
to the ITTF by the secretariat of the relevant SC for publication as an International Standard.
If it is impossible to agree to a text meeting the above requirements, the proposal has failed and the procedure
is terminated.
In either case the WG shall prepare a full report which will be circulated by the ITTF.
6  If the proposed standard is accepted and published, its maintenance will be handled by JTC 1.

Abstract: Support to extend the IEEE 802.3 protocol and MAC specification to an operating speed
of 10 Gb/s. Several Physical Coding Sublayers known as 10GBASE-X, 10GBASE-R, and
10GBASE-W are specified, as well as significant additional supporting material for a 10 Gigabit
Media Independent Interface (XGMII), a 10 Gigabit Attachment Unit Interface (XAUI), a 10 Gigabit
Sixteen-Bit Interface (XSBI) and management.

IEEE Standards documents are developed within the IEEE Societies and the Standards Coordinating Committees of the
IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA) Standards Board. The IEEE develops its standards through a consensus develop-
ment process, approved by the American National Standards Institute, which brings together volunteers representing varied
viewpoints and interests to achieve the final product. Volunteers are not necessarily members of the Institute and serve with-
out compensation. While the IEEE administers the process and establishes rules to promote fairness in the consensus devel-
opment process, the IEEE does not independently evaluate, test, or verify the accuracy of any of the information contained in
its standards.
Use of an IEEE Standard is wholly voluntary. The IEEE disclaims liability for any personal injury, property or other damage,
of any nature whatsoever, whether special, indirect, consequential, or compensatory, directly or indirectly resulting from the
publication, use of, or reliance upon this, or any other IEEE Standard document.
The IEEE does not warrant or represent the accuracy or content of the material contained herein, and expressly disclaims any
express or implied warranty, including any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a specific purpose, or that the
use of the material contained herein is free from patent infringement. IEEE Standards documents are supplied “AS IS.”
The existence of an IEEE Standard does not imply that there are no other ways to produce, test, measure, purchase, market,
or provide other goods and services related to the scope of the IEEE Standard. Furthermore, the viewpoint expressed at the
time a standard is approved and issued is subject to change brought about through developments in the state of the art and
comments received from users of the standard. Every IEEE Standard is subjected to review at least every five years for revi-
sion or reaffirmation. When a document is more than five years old and has not been reaffirmed, it is reasonable to conclude
that its contents, although still of some value, do not wholly reflect the present state of the art. Users are cautioned to check
to determine that they have the latest edition of any IEEE Standard.
In publishing and making this document available, the IEEE is not suggesting or rendering professional or other services for,
or on behalf of, any person or entity. Nor is the IEEE undertaking to perform any duty owed by any other person or entity to
another. Any person utilizing this, and any other IEEE Standards document, should rely upon the advice of a competent pro-
fessional in determining the exercise of reasonable care in any given circumstances.
Interpretations: Occasionally questions may arise regarding the meaning of portions of standards as they relate to specific
applications. When the need for interpretations is brought to the attention of IEEE, the Institute will initiate action to prepare
appropriate responses. Since IEEE Standards represent a consensus of concerned interests, it is important to ensure that any
interpretation has also received the concurrence of a balance of interests. For this reason, IEEE and the members of its soci-
eties and Standards Coordinating Committees are not able to provide an instant response to interpretation requests except in
those cases where the matter has previously received formal consideration.
Comments for revision of IEEE Standards are welcome from any interested party, regardless of membership affiliation with
IEEE. Suggestions for changes in documents should be in the form of a proposed change of text, together with appropriate
supporting comments. Comments on standards and requests for interpretations should be addressed to:

Note: Attention is called to the possibility that implementation of this standard may require use of subject mat-
ter covered by patent rights. By publication of this standard, no position is taken with respect to the existence or
validity of any patent rights in connection therewith. The IEEE shall not be responsible for identifying patents
for which a license may be required by an IEEE standard or for conducting inquiries into the legal validity or
scope of those patents that are brought to its attention.
Authorization to photocopy portions of any individual standard for internal or personal use is granted by the Institute of Elec-
trical and Electronics Engineers, Inc., provided that the appropriate fee is paid to Copyright Clearance Center. To arrange for
payment of licensing fee, please contact Copyright Clearance Center, Customer Service, 222 Rosewood Drive, Danvers, MA

can also be obtained through the Copyright Clearance Center.

This family of standards deals with the Physical and Data Link layers as defined by the International
Organization for Standardization (ISO) Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Basic Reference Model
(ISO/IEC 7498-1: 1994). The access standards define seven types of medium access technologies and
associated physical media, each appropriate for particular applications or system objectives. Other types are
under investigation.
The standards defining the technologies noted above are as follows:
• IEEE Std 802 Overview and Architecture. This standard provides an overview to the
family of IEEE 802 Standards.

™

™
and 802.1k architecture, and services and protocol elements for use in a LAN/MAN
[ISO/IEC 15802-2] environment for performing remote management.

™
• IEEE Std 802.1D Media Access Control (MAC) Bridges. Specifies an architecture and protocol
for the interconnection of IEEE 802 LANs below the MAC service boundary.

™
• IEEE Std 802.1E System Load Protocol. Specifies a set of services and protocol for those aspects
[ISO/IEC 15802-4] of management concerned with the loading of systems on IEEE 802 LANs.

™
• IEEE Std 802.1F Common Definitions and Procedures for IEEE 802 Management Information.
™
• IEEE Std 802.1G Remote Media Access Control (MAC) Bridging. Specifies extensions for the
[ISO/IEC 15802-5] interconnection, using non-LAN communication technologies, of geographically
separated IEEE 802 LANs below the level of the logical link control protocol.
