Institute of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers (IEEE)
One of the primary professional organizations involved in the development of
international standards for local area networks (LANs). The IEEE 802
committee standards deal with physical and data link layers of the ISO/OSI
Reference Model.
802.2 Standard for Logical Link Control (LLC) sublayer. LLC is the top
half of the data link layer.
802.3 A bus topology LAN based on a CSMA/CD access method (for
example, Ethernet).
802.4 A bus topology LAN based on a token-passing access method (for
example, MAP).
802.5 A ring topology LAN based on a token-passing access method (for
example, Token-Ring).
802.6 Metropolitan area network (MAN) designed to interconnect LANs
over a 50-mile radius. Uses fiber optics and a modified token passing
technique at 50 megabits per second (Mbps).
Integration
The merging of separate environments or the ability to tie diverse resources
into one functional system while maintaining the benefit of a distributed
environment.
Interface
The boundary between two systems or devices, or the logical areas of shared
information where two systems can be interconnected. It also provides a
logical connection between different transmission systems or equipment.
International Standards Organization (ISO)
A Geneva-based standards organization responsible for creation of the
ISO Reference Model for OSI.
