Abstract: Ethernet local area network operation is specified for selected speeds of operation from
1 Mb/s to 400 Gb/s using a common media access control (MAC) specification and management
information base (MIB). The Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD)
MAC protocol specifies shared medium (half duplex) operation, as well as full duplex operation.
Speed specific Media Independent Interfaces (MIIs) allow use of selected Physical Layer devices
(PHYs) for operation over coaxial, twisted pair or fiber optic cables, or electrical backplanes.
System considerations for multisegment shared access networks describe the use of Repeaters
that are defined for operational speeds up to 1000 Mb/s. Local Area Network (LAN) operation is
supported at all speeds. Other specified capabilities include: various PHY types for access
networks, PHYs suitable for metropolitan area network applications, and the provision of power
over selected twisted pair PHY types.

represent that the use of the material contained in its standards is free from patent infringement. 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 t o
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

Translations
The IEEE consensus development process involves the review of documents in English only. In the even t
that an IEEE standard is translated, only the English version published by IEEE is 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, nor 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 the presenter’s views should be considered the personal views of that individual rather
than the formal position of IEEE, IEEE SA, the Standards Committee, or the Working Group.
Comments on standards
Comments for revision of IEEE Standards documents are welcome from any interested party, regardless of
membership affiliation with IEEE or IEEE SA. However, IEEE does not provide interpretations,
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 evaluating comments or in revisions to an IEEE standard is welcome to join the relevant
IEEE working group. You can indicate interest in a working group using the Interests tab in the Manage Profile
& Interests area of the IEEE SA myProject system. An IEEE Account is needed to access the application.
Comments on standards should be submitted using the Contact Us form.
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 constitute 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.
Data privacy
Users of IEEE Standards documents should evaluate the standards for considerations of data privacy and
data ownership in the context of assessing and using the standards in compliance with applicable laws and
regulations.

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 determi-
nation 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.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
IEEE Standards do not guarantee or ensure safety, security, health, or environmental protection, or ensur e
against interference with or from other devices or networks. IEEE Standards development activities consider
