1 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 (PHY) 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.

Scope:
This is a comprehensive International Standard for Local Area Networks (LANs) employing CSMA/CD as the access method. This International Standard is intended to encompass several media types and techniques for signal rates from 1 Mb/s to 1000 Mb/s. This edition of the standard provides the necessary specifications for the following families of systems: a 1 Mb/s baseband system, 10 Mb/s baseband and broadband systems, a 100 Mb/s baseband system, and a 1000 Mb/s baseband system.
Purpose:
This standard provides for two distinct modes of operation: half duplex and full duplex. A given IEEE 802.3 instantiation operates in either half or full duplex mode at any one time. The term "CSMA/CD MAC" is used throughout this standard synonymously with "802.3 MAC," and may represent an instance of either a half duplex or full duplex mode data terminal equipment (DTE), even though full duplex mode DTEs do not implement the CSMA/CD algorithms traditionally used to arbitrate access to shared-media LANs.

The two 100BASE-X specifications (100BASE-TX and 100BASE-FX) reused portions of the 100 Mb/s physical signaling specifications originally developed for Fibre Distributed ...
Scope:
1. The CSMA/CD access method of IEEE 802.3 will be retained without change. Therefore, the only change to Clause 4 Media access Control and Clause 6 PLS Service Specifications will be to add a subclause 4.4.2.3 containing the parameterized values for 100 Mb/s operation of the MAC.
