Abstract: This standard is part of a family of standards for local area networks (LANs) and metro-
politan area networks (MANs) that deals with the physical and data link layers as defined by the
ISO Open Systems Interconnection Basic Reference Model. The functions, features, protocol, and
services of the Logical Link Control (L.LC) sublayer, which constitutes the top sublayer in the data
link layer of the ISO/IEC 8802 LAN protocol, are described. The services required of, or by, the
LLC sublayer at the logical interfaces with the network layer, the medium access control (MAC)
sublayer, and the LLC sublayer management function are specified. The protocol data unit (PDU)
structure for data communication systems is defined using bit-oriented procedures, as are three
types of operation for data communication between service access points. In the first type of oper- .
ation, PDUs are exchanged between LLCs without the need for the establishment of a data link
connection. In the second type of operation, a data link connection is established between two
LLCs prior to any exchange of information-bearing PDUs. In the third type of operation, PDUs are
exchanged between LLCs without the need for the establishment of a data link connection, but sta-
tions are permitted to both send data and request the return of data simultaneously.
Keywords: local area networks, protocols; logical link control

International Standard ISO/IEC 8802=2:1998(E)
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. 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.
International Standard ISO/IEC 8802-2 was prepared by Joint Technical Committee ISO/IEC JTC 1,
Information technology, Subcommittee SC 6, Telecommunications and information exchange between
systems.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO/IEC 8802-2: 1994), which has been
technically revised. It also incorporates Amendment 3: 1995.
ISO/IEC 8802 consists of the following parts, under the general title Information technology -
Telecommunications and information exchange between systems - Local and metropolitan area
networks - Specific requirements:
- Part 1: Overview of Local Area Network Standards
- Part 2: Lo@cal Zink control
- Part 3: Carrier sense multiple access with collision detection (CSMUCD) access method and
physical layer specifications
- Part 4: Token-passing bus access method and physical layer specifications
- Part 5: Token ring access method and physical layer specifications
- Part 6: Distributed Queue Dual Bus (DQDB) access method andphysical layer speci’fications
- Part 9: Integrated Services (IS) LAN Interface at the Medium Access Control (MAC) and Physical
(PHY) Layers
- Part II: Wireless LAN Medium Access Control (MAC) and Physical Layer (PHY) specifications
- Part 12: Demand-priority access method, physical layer and repeater specifications
Annexes A and E form an integral part of this part of ISO/IEC 8802. Annexes B to D are for information

This family of International Standards deals with the Physical and Data Link layers as defined by the ISO/
IEC Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Basic Reference Mode1 (ISO/IEC 7498-l : 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 International Standards defining the access technologies are as follows:
ISO/IEC 8802-3, utilizing carrier sense multiple access with collision detection (CSMAKD) as the
a>
access method.
ISO/IEC 8802-4, utilizing token passing bus as the access method.
W
ISO/IEC 8802-5, utilizing token passing ring as the access method.
C>
d) ISO/IEC 8802-6, utilizing distributed queuing dual bus as the access method.
ISO/IEC 8802-9, a unified access method offering integrated services for backbone networks.
e>
f) ISO/IEC DIS 8802-l 1, a wireless LAN utilizing carrier sense multiple access with collision avoid-
ance (CSMAKA) as the access method.
ISO/IEC DIS 8802-12, utilizing Demand Priority as the access method.
g)
ISOIIEC TR 8802- 1, Overview of Local Area Network Standards, provides an overview of the series of ISOI
IEC 8802 standards.
ISO/IEC 8802-2, Logical Link Control, is used in conjunction with the medium access standards to provide
the data link layer service to network layer protocols.
ISO/IEC 15802- 1, Medium Access Control (MAC) service definition, specifies the characteristics of the com-
mon MAC Service provided by a11 IEEE 802 LAN MACS. The service is defined in terms of primitives that
cari be passed between peer service users, their parameters, their interrelationship and valid sequences, and
the associated events of the service.
ISO/IEC 15802-2, LAN/MAN Management, defines an OS1 management-compatible architecture, and ser-
vices and protocol elements for use in a LAN/MAN environment for performing remote management.
ISO/IEC 10038, Media Access Control (MAC) bridges, specifies an architecture and protocol for the intercon-
nection of IEEE 802 LANs below the level of the logical link control protocol (to be renumbered 15802-3).
ISO/IEC 15802-4, System Load ProtocoZ, specifies a set of services and protocol for those aspects of man-
agement concerned with the loading of systems on IEEE 802 LANs.
ISO/IEC 15802-5, Remote Media Access Control (MAC) bridging, specifies extensions for the interconnec-
tion, using non-LAN communication technologies, of geographically separated IEEE 802 LANs below the
level of the logical link control protocol.

ANSIIIEEE Std 802.2,1998 Edition
IEEE Standards documents are developed within the Technical Committees of the IEEE Societies and the
Standards Coordinating Committees of the IEEE Standards Board. Members of the committees serve volun-
tarily and without compensation. They are not necessarily members of the Institute. The standards developed
within IEEE represent a consensus of the broad expertise on the subject within the Institute as well as those
activities outside of IEEE that have expressed an interest in participating in the development of the standard.
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. Every IEEE Standard is subjected to review at least every five years for
revision or reaffirmation. When a document is more than five years old and has not been reaffirmed, it is rea-
sonable 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.
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.
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
a11 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 technical committees are not able to pro-
vide an instant response to interpretation requests except in those cases where the matter has previously
received forma1 consideration.
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 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. 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 interna1 or persona1 use is granted by the
