Foreword
IS0 (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International
Electrotechnical Commission) form the specialized system for worldwide
standardization. National bodies that are members of IS0 or IEC participate in the
development of International Standards through technical committees established by
the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity. IS0 and
EC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with IS0 and IEC, also
take part in the work.
In the field of information technology, IS0 and IEC have established a joint technical
committee, ISO/IEC JTC 1.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards, but in
exceptional circumstances a technical committee may propose the publication of a
Technical Report of one of the following types:
- type 1, when the required support cannot be obtained for the publication
of an International Standard, despite repeated efforts;
- type 2, when the subject is still under technical development or where for
any other reason there is the future but not immediate possibility of an
agreement on an International Standad
- type 3, when a technical committee has collected data of a different kind
from that which is normally published as an International Standard ("state of the
art", for example).
Technical Reports of types 1 and 2 are subject to review within three years of
publication, to decide whether they can be transformed into International Standards.
Technical Reports of type 3 do not necessarily have to be reviewed until the data they
provide are considered to be no longer valid or useful.
ISO/IEC TR 8802-1, which is a Technical Report of type 3, was prepared by Joint
Technical Committee ISO/IEC JTC 1, Znformution technology, Subcommittee SC 6,
Telecommunications and informution exchange between systems.

Introduction
l
This technical report introduces the set of International Standards produced to facilitate
the interconnection of information processing systems connected to Local Area
L
Networks (LAN). The LAN is a shared-medium peer-to-peer communications networ ,
that broadcasts information for all end systems to receive. As a consequence it does nol
inherently provide privacy. The LAN enables end system communication directly usin4
a common physical medium on a point-to-point basis without the involvement of and
intermediate system. I
relate to local area networks; specifically the ISO/LEC 8802 technologies and FDDI.

Part 1:
Overview of Local Area Network Standards
e
1. Scope
This technical report provides an introduction to the set of International Standards which describe local area
networks, specifically those which make use of the 48-bit address format.
In addition the MAC Service definition will be central to the operation of these technologies both as service
providers and service users.
The scope of this Technical Report is therefore limited to those International Standards which describe
processes and procedures resident in the Data Link and Physical Layers of the OS1 Basic Reference Model and
can be said to relate to local area networks.
e
This technical report does not itself describe new Service or Protocol definitions. Its intent is to set the context
for local area networks which include both the International Standards describing FDDI and the technologies
described by the set of ISO/IEC 8802 International Standards.

NOTE - It was agreed in October 1993 to revise the existing numbering scheme of LANMAN International
Standards within ISO/IEC JTCl to provide alignment with the numbering scheme used by IEEE for their
he re-
LAN/MAN Standards. The process of introducing the new scheme for new International Standards and
numbering of existing International Standards is on-going. Annex A describes the new numbering scheme in
detail and indicates how its implementation will proceed.

These International Standards are organised along the architectural lines of the OS1 Basic Reference model, and
in the case of the 8802 LANs into the medium-dependent aspects of the Physical Layer (PHY) and the formats
and protocols used by the particular media access control sublayer (MAC).
Figure 1 shows the relationship and dependencies of the various technologies within this overall architecture.
This family of International Standards deals with the physical and data link layers as defined by the ûpen
Systems Interconnection Reference Model. It comprises a set of medium access technologies and associated
physical media, each appropriate for particular applications or system objectives.

4.2. The LAN Technologies
LANs cover a wide variety of Physical Layer International Standards, physical media, and methods of media
access control. The following is a brief synopsis for each of the LAN technologies identified in Table 1,
however the reader is referred to the International Standard documents (see Clause 2) for the precise detail for
each of the LAN technologies.
4.2.1. CSMAICD
This form of LAN technology, Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection, controls access to the
medium by means by which two or more stations share a common transmission medium. To transmit, a station
waits (defers) for a quiet period on the medium (that is, no other station is transmitting) and then sends the
intended message in bit-seriai form. If, after initiating a transmission, the message collides with that of another
station, then each transmitting station intentionally sends a few additional bytes to ensure propagation of the
collision throughout the system. The station then remains silent for a random amount of time (backoff) before
attempting to transmit again. The CSMAICD LAN technology is defined for use on 50 ohm coaxial cable
(10BASE5 and 10BASE2), on unshielded twisted pair (10BASE-T), and on fibre optic cable (FOIRL and
10BASE-F).

ISOflEC TR 8802-1:1994(1
o ISO/IEC
4.2.2. Token-passing Bus
This form of LAN technology controls access to the medium through the use of a bus transmitted token which
allows the holder to transmit information onto the bus. The token bus LAN technology is defined for use on
broadband coaxial cable, on baseband coaxial cable, and on fibre optic cable.
4.2.3. Token-passing Ring
In a token-passing ring, stations are serially connected to form a logical ring over which data and control
information is transmitted and received.
Access to this ring is controlled by a signalling sequence referred to as the "token" which circulates around the
ring from station to station.
A station desiring to transmit waits until it receives a token. The station changes the token to a start-of-
message, transmits its message and, upon completion of the message, releases a new token for use by other
stations on the ring.
Token ring is defined for operation on shielded and unshielded twisted pair medium at data rates of 4 and 16
Mbps. In addition, token ring may operate using fibre optic cable.
4.2.4. Distributed Queue Dual Bus
DQDB is defined to have the capability to work over the local area and to interoperate with the other local area
network technologies. In particular DQDB has the capability to use the 48-bit MAC address format and for thal
reason it is included in this Overview.
However, DQDB is more often encountered in the Metropolitan Area and it introduces the concept of the
Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) where the development of a high speed technology to support
connectionless data services is required. Because of the differing environments in which the DQDB MAN will
be utilised, a variety of Physical Layer protocols are required. Physical Layer protocols which make use of
existing underlying transmission standards have been defined. However it is intended that all Physical Layer
specifications (PHY) will be based upon a common framework.
4.2.5. Slotted Ring
This form of LAN technology controls access to the medium through an entity known as a repeater. The
repeater entity encodes and decodes mini packets during the process of transmission and receipt between the
end station and the medium. The logical topology of the LAN is a ring which may be implemented as a physica
star. The medium is defined as unscreened twisted pair; two pairs being used to carry a single signal with a link
between end stations limited to lOOm in length. A single subnet may support up to 254 end stations with a ring
circumference of 4 km.
4.2.6. Fibre Distributed Data Interface
The Physical Medium Dependent (PMD) provides the digital baseband channel for point to point
communication between nodes on the FDDI network. It provides all
