Foreword
ISO	(the	International	Organization	for	Standardization)	and	IEC	(the	International	Electrotechnical
Commission)	form	the	specialized	system	for	worldwide	standardization.	National	bodies	that	are
members	of	ISO	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.	ISO	and	IEC	technical	committees	collaborate	in	fields	of	mutual	interest.	Other
international	organizations,	governmental	and	non‐governmental,	in	liaison	with	ISO	and	IEC,	also
take	part	in	the	work.	In	the	field	of	information	technology,	ISO	and	IEC	have	established	a	joint
technical	committee,	ISO/IEC	JTC	1.
The	procedures	used	to	develop	this	document	and	those	intended	for	its	further	maintenance	are
described	in	the	ISO/IEC	Directives,	Part	1.	In	particular,	the	different	approval	criteria	needed
for	the	different	types	of	ISO	documents	should	be	noted	(see	www.iso.org/directives).
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	development	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	without	compensation.	While	the	IEEE	administers	the	process	and	establishes	rules	to
promote	fairness	in	the	consensus	development	process,	the	IEEE	does	not	independently
evaluate,	test,	or	verify	the	accuracy	of	any	of	the	information	contained	in	its	standards.
Attention	is	drawn	to	the	possibility	that	some	of	the	elements	of	this	document	may	be	the
subject	of	patent	rights.	ISO	and	IEC	shall	not	be	held	responsible	for	identifying	any	or	all
such	patent	rights.		Details	of	any	patent	rights	identified	during	the	development	of	the
document	will	be	in	the	Introduction	and/or	on	the	ISO	list	of	patent	declarations	received	(see
www.iso.org/patents).
Any	trade	name	used	in	this	document	is	information	given	for	the	convenience	of	users	and	does
not	constitute	an	endorsement.
For	an	explanation	of	the	voluntary	nature	of	standards,	the	meaning	of	ISO	specific	terms	and
expressions	related	to	conformity	assessment,	as	well	as	information	about	ISO's	adherence	to	the
World	 Trade	 Organization	 (WTO)	 principles	 in	 the	 Technical	 Barriers	 to	 Trade	 (TBT),
see	www.iso.org/iso/foreword.html.
ISO/IEC/IEEE	8802‐3:2017/Amd.10	was	prepared	by	the	LAN/MAN	of	the	IEEE	Computer	Society
(as	IEEE	Std	802.3bs‐2017)	and	drafted	in	accordance	with	its	editorial	rules.	It	was	adopted,
under	the	“fast‐track	procedure”	defined	in	the	Partner	Standards	Development	Organization
cooperation	agreement	between	ISO	and	IEEE,	by	Joint	Technical	Committee	ISO/IEC	JTC	1,
Information technology,	Subcommittee	SC6,	Telecommunications and information exchange between
systems.

Important Notices and Disclaimers Concerning IEEE Standards Documents
IEEE documents are made available for use subject to important notices and legal disclaimers. These notices
and disclaimers, or a reference to this page, appear in all standards and may be found under the heading
“Important Notices and Disclaimers Concerning IEEE Standards Documents.” They can also be obtained on
request from IEEE or viewed at http://standards.ieee.org/IPR/disclaimers.html.
Notice and Disclaimer of Liability Concerning the Use of IEEE Standards
Documents
IEEE Standards documents (standards, recommended practices, and guides), both full-use and trial-use, are
developed within IEEE Societies and the Standards Coordinating Committees of the IEEE Standards
Association (“IEEE-SA”) Standards Board. IEEE (“the Institute”) develops its standards through a consensus
development process, approved by the American National Standards Institute (“ANSI”), which brings
together volunteers representing varied viewpoints and interests to achieve the final product. IEEE Standards
are documents developed through scientific, academic, and industry-based technical working groups.
Volunteers in IEEE working groups are not necessarily members of the Institute and participate without
compensation from IEEE. While IEEE administers the process and establishes rules to promote fairness in
the consensus development process, IEEE does not independently evaluate, test, or verify the accuracy of any
of the information or the soundness of any judgments contained in its standards.
IEEE Standards do not guarantee or ensure safety, security, health, or environmental protection, or ensure
against interference with or from other devices or networks. Implementers and users of IEEE Standards
documents are responsible for determining and complying with all appropriate safety, security,
environmental, health, and interference protection practices and all applicable laws and regulations.
IEEE does not warrant or represent the accuracy or content of the material contained in its standards, and
expressly disclaims all warranties (express, implied and statutory) not included in this or any other document
relating to the standard, including, but not limited to, the warranties of: merchantability; fitness for a
particular purpose; non-infringement; and quality, accuracy, effectiveness, currency, or completeness of
material. In addition, IEEE disclaims any and all conditions relating to: results; and workmanlike effort. IEEE
standards documents are supplied “AS IS” and “WITH ALL FAULTS.”
Use of an IEEE standard is wholly voluntary. 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.
In publishing and making its standards available, IEEE is not suggesting or rendering professional or other
services for, or on behalf of, any person or entity nor is IEEE undertaking to perform any duty owed by any
other person or entity to another. Any person utilizing any IEEE Standards document, should rely upon his
or her own independent judgment in the exercise of reasonable care in any given circumstances or, as
appropriate, seek the advice of a competent professional in determining the appropriateness of a given IEEE
standard.
IN NO EVENT SHALL IEEE BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL,
EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO:
PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES; LOSS OF USE, DATA, OR PROFITS; OR
BUSINESS INTERRUPTION) HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY,
WHETHER IN CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE OR
OTHERWISE) ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THE PUBLICATION, USE OF, OR RELIANCE UPON
ANY STANDARD, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE AND
REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH DAMAGE WAS FORESEEABLE.

ISO/IEC/IEEE 8802-3:2017/Amd.10:2019(E)
Translations
The IEEE consensus development process involves the review of documents in English only. In the event that
an IEEE standard is translated, only the English version published by IEEE should be considered the
approved IEEE standard.
Official statements
A statement, written or oral, that is not processed in accordance with the IEEE-SA Standards Board
Operations Manual shall not be considered or inferred to be the official position of IEEE or any of its
committees and shall not be considered to be, or be relied upon as, a formal position of IEEE. At lectures,
symposia, seminars, or educational courses, an individual presenting information on IEEE standards shall
make it clear that his or her views should be considered the personal views of that individual rather than the
formal position of IEEE.
Comments on standards
Comments for revision of IEEE Standards documents are welcome from any interested party, regardless of
membership affiliation with IEEE. However, IEEE does not provide consulting information or advice
pertaining to IEEE Standards documents. Suggestions for changes in documents should be in the form of a
proposed change of text, together with appropriate supporting comments. Since IEEE standards represent a
consensus of concerned interests, it is important that any responses to comments and questions also receive
the concurrence of a balance of interests. For this reason, IEEE and the members of its societies and Standards
Coordinating Committees are not able to provide an instant response to comments or questions except in those
cases where the matter has previously been addressed. For the same reason, IEEE does not respond to
interpretation requests. Any person who would like to participate in revisions to an IEEE standard is welcome
to join the relevant IEEE working group.
Comments on standards should be submitted to the following address:
Secretary, IEEE-SA Standards Board 
445 Hoes Lane 
Piscataway, NJ 08854 USA
Laws and regulations
Users of IEEE Standards documents should consult all applicable laws and regulations. Compliance with the
provisions of any IEEE Standards document does not imply compliance to any applicable regulatory
requirements. Implementers of the standard are responsible for observing or referring to the applicable
regulatory requirements. IEEE does not, by the publication of its standards, intend to urge action that is not
in compliance with applicable laws, and these documents may not be construed as doing so.
Copyrights
IEEE draft and approved standards are copyrighted by IEEE under U.S. and international copyright laws.
They are made available by IEEE and are adopted for a wide variety of both public and private uses. These
include both use, by reference, in laws and regulations, and use in private self-regulation, standardization, and
the promotion of engineering practices and methods. By making these documents available for use and
adoption by public authorities and private users, IEEE does not waive any rights in copyright to the
documents.

Photocopies
Subject to payment of the appropriate fee, IEEE will grant users a limited, non-exclusive license to photocopy
portions of any individual standard for company or organizational internal use or individual, non-commercial
use only. To arrange for payment of licensing fees, please contact Copyright Clearance Center, Customer
Service, 222 Rosewood Drive, Danvers, MA 01923 USA; +1 978 750 8400. Permission to photocopy
portions of any individual standard for educational classroom use can also be obtained through the Copyright
Clearance Center.
Updating of IEEE Standards documents
Users of IEEE Standards documents should be aware that these documents may be superseded at any time by
the issuance of new editions or may be amended from time to time through the issuance of amendments,
corrigenda, or errata. An official IEEE document at any point in time consists of the current edition of the
document together with any amendments, corrigenda, or errata then in effect.
Every IEEE standard is subjected to review at least every ten years. When a document is more than ten years
old and has not undergone a revision process, 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 order to determine whether a given document is the current edition and whether it has been amended
through the issuance of amendments, corrigenda, or errata, visit the IEEE Xplore at http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/
or contact IEEE at the address listed previously. For more information about the IEEE-SA or IEEE’s
standards development process, visit the IEEE-SA Website at http://standards.ieee.org.
Errata
Errata, if any, for all IEEE standards can be accessed on the IEEE-SA Website at the following URL:
http://standards.ieee.org/findstds/errata/index.html. Users are encouraged to check this URL for errata
periodically.
Patents
Attention is called to the possibility that implementation of this standard may require use of subject matter
covered by patent rights. By publication of this standard, no position is taken by the IEEE with respect to the
existence or validity of any patent rights in connection therewith. If a patent holder or patent applicant has
filed a statement of assurance via an Accepted Letter of Assurance, then the statement is listed on the IEEE-
SA Website at http://standards.ieee.org/about/sasb/patcom/patents.html. Letters of Assurance may indicate
whether the Submitter is willing or unwilling to grant licenses under patent rights without compensation or
under reasonable rates, with reasonable terms and conditions that are demonstrably free of any unfair
discrimination to applicants desiring to obtain such licenses.
Essential Patent Claims may exist for which a Letter of Assurance has not been received. The IEEE is not
responsible for identifying Essential Patent Claims for which a license may be required, for conducting
inquiries into the legal validity or scope of Patents Claims, or determining whether any licensing terms or
conditions provided in connection with submission of a Letter of Assurance, if any, or in any licensing
agreements are reasonable or non-discriminatory. Users of this standard are expressly advised that
determination of the validity of any patent rights, and the risk of infringement of such rights, is entirely their
own responsibility. Further information may be obtained from the IEEE Standards Association.

Introduction
This introduction is not part of IEEE Std 802.3bs-2017, IEEE Standard for Ethernet—Amendment 10: Media Access
Control Parameters, Physical Layers, and Management Parameters for 200 Gb/s and 400 Gb/s Operation.
IEEE Std 802.3™ was first published in 1985. Since the initial publication, many projects have added
functionality or provided maintenance updates to the specifications and text included in the standard. Each
IEEE 802.3 project/amendment is identified with a suffix (e.g., IEEE Std 802.3ba™-2010).
The half duplex Media Access Control (MAC) protocol specified in IEEE Std 802.3-1985 is Carrier Sense
Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD). This MAC protocol was key to the experimental
Ethernet developed at Xerox Palo Alto Research Center, which had a 2.94 Mb/s data rate. Ethernet at
10 Mb/s was jointly released as a public specification by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC), Intel and
Xerox in 1980. Ethernet at 10 Mb/s was approved as an IEEE standard by the IEEE Standards Board in 1983
and subsequently published in 1985 as IEEE Std 802.3-1985. Since 1985, new media options, new speeds of
operation, and new capabilities have been added to IEEE Std 802.3. A full duplex MAC protocol was added
in 1997.
Some of the major additions to IEEE Std 802.3 are identified in the marketplace with their project number.
This is most common for projects adding higher speeds of operation or new protocols. For example, IEEE
Std 802.3u™ added 100 Mb/s operation (also called Fast Ethernet), IEEE Std 802.3z added 1000 Mb/s
operation (also called Gigabit Ethernet), IEEE Std 802.3ae added 10 Gb/s operation (also called 10 Gigabit
Ethernet), IEEE Std 802.3ah™ specified access network Ethernet (also called Ethernet in the First Mile) and
IEEE Std 802.3ba added 40 Gb/s operation (also called 40 Gigabit Ethernet) and 100 Gb/s operation (also
called 100 Gigabit Ethernet). These major additions are all now included in and are superseded by
IEEE Std 802.3-2015 and are not maintained as separate documents.
At the publication date of IEEE Std 802.3bs-2017, IEEE Std 802.3 is composed of the following documents:
IEEE Std 802.3-2015
Section One—Includes Clause 1 through Clause 20 and Annex A through Annex H and Annex 4A.
Section One includes the specifications for 10 Mb/s operation and the MAC, frame formats and service
interfaces used for all speeds of operation.
Section Two—Includes Clause 21 through Clause 33 and Annex 22A through Annex 33E. Section
Two includes management attributes for multiple protocols and speed of operation as well as
specifications for providing power over twisted pair cabling for multiple operational speeds. It also
includes general information on 100 Mb/s operation as well as most of the 100 Mb/s Physical Layer
specifications.
Section Three—Includes Clause 34 through Clause 43 and Annex 36A through Annex 43C. Section
Three includes general information on 1000 Mb/s operation as well as most of the 1000 Mb/s Physical
Layer specifications.
Section Four—Includes Clause 44 through Clause 55 and Annex 44A through Annex 55B. Section
Four includes general information on 10 Gb/s operation as well as most of the 10 Gb/s Physical Layer
specifications.
Section Five—Includes Clause 56 through Clause 77 and Annex 57A through Annex 76A. Clause 56
through Clause 67 and Clause 75 through Clause 77, as well as associated annexes, specify subscriber
access and other Physical Layers and sublayers for operation from 512 kb/s to 10 Gb/s, and defines
services and protocol elements that enable the exchange of IEEE Std 802.3 format frames between
