ISO/IEC/IEEE 8802-3:2014

Standard for Ethernet - Part 3:

ISO/IEC/IEEE 8802-3:2014 specifies Ethernet local area network operation for selected speeds of operation from 1 Mb/s to 100 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 (PHY) for operation over coaxial, twisted-pair or fibre-optic cables. 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.

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.
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.
The main task of ISO/IEC JTC 1 is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted
by the joint technical committee are circulated to national bodies for voting. Publication as an International
Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the national bodies casting a vote.
Attention is called to the possibility that implementation of this standard may require the use of subject matter
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. ISO/IEEE is not responsible for identifying essential
patents or patent claims for which a license may be required, for conducting inquiries into the legal validity or
scope of patents or patent claims or determining whether any licensing terms or conditions provided in
connection with submission of a Letter of Assurance or a Patent Statement and Licensing Declaration Form, 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 ISO or the IEEE Standards
Association.
ISO/IEC/IEEE 8802-3 was prepared by the LAN/MAN Standards Committee of the IEEE Computer Society
(as IEEE 802.3-2012). It was adopted by Joint Technical Committee ISO/IEC JTC 1, Information technology,
Subcommittee SC 6, Telecommunications and information exchange between systems, in parallel with its
approval by the ISO/IEC national bodies, under the “fast-track procedure” defined in the Partner Standards
Development Organization cooperation agreement between ISO and IEEE. IEEE is responsible for the
maintenance of this document with participation and input from ISO/IEC national bodies.

Abstract: Ethernet local area network operation is specified for selected speeds of operation from
1 Mb/s to 100 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
(PHY) for operation over coaxial, twisted-pair or fiber optic cables. 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.

Notice and Disclaimer of Liability Concerning the Use of IEEE Documents: IEEE Standards documents are
developed within the IEEE Societies and the Standards Coordinating Committees of the IEEE Standards Association
(IEEE-SA) Standards Board. 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 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.
Use of an IEEE Standard is wholly voluntary. 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 any IEEE Standard document.
IEEE does not warrant or represent the accuracy or content of the material contained in its standards, 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 in its standards 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 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 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.
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 the official position of IEEE or any of its committees and shall not be
position of IEEE. At lectures, symposia, seminars, or educational
considered to be, nor be relied upon as, a formal
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 to ensure 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. Any person who would like to participate in evaluating comments or revisions to an IEEE
standard is welcome to join the relevant IEEE working group at http://standards.ieee.org/develop/wg/.
Comments on standards should be submitted to the following address:
