*******Also Includes Amd 1, Amd 2, Amd 3, Amd 4, Amd 5, and Amd 7******

 

This standard defines Ethernet local area, access and metropolitan area networks. Ethernet is specified at selected  speeds  of  operation;  and  uses  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)  provide  an  architectural  and  optional implementation interface to selected Physical Layer entities (PHY). The Physical Layer encodes frames for transmission  and  decodes  received  frames  with  the  modulation  specified  for  the  speed  of  operation, transmission  medium  and  supported  link  length.  Other  specified  capabilities  include:  control  and management protocols, and the provision of power over selected twisted pair PHY types.

Project need:

To align Canadian requirements with those of the respective international standards being proposed for adoption. To maintain alignment between Canadian information and communication technology standards and each respective international standard.
