IEEE Standards
In 1985, the Computer Society of the IEEE started a project, called Project 802, to set standards to enable intercommunication among equipment from a variety of manufacturers. Project 802 is a way of specifying functions of the physical layer and the data link layer of major LAN protocols.

Standard Ethernet
The original Ethernet was created in 1976 at Xeroxs Palo Alto Research Center (PARC). Since then, it has gone through four generations

MAC Sublayer
Preamble: alerting the receiving system to the coming frame and enabling it to synchronize its input timing CRC: CRC-32
13-6
Addressing
Ethernet address in hexadecimal notation
The least significant bit of the first byte defines the type of address. If the bit is 0, the address is unicast; otherwise, it is multicast The broadcast destination address is a special case of the multicast address in which all bits are 1s

Ethernet
Access method: 1-persistent CSMA/CD Slot time = rount-trip time + time required to send the jam sequence 512 bits for Ethernet, 51.2 s for 10 Mbps Ethernet Slot time and collision Slot time and maximum network length MaxLength = PropagationSpeed x SlotTime/2 MaxLength = (2 x 108) x (51.2 x 10-6/2) = 5120 m MaxLength = 2500 m 48 % of the theoretical calculation by considering delay times in repeaters and interfaces, and the time required to send the jam sequence

Fast Ethernet
Under the name of IEEE 802.3u Upgrade the data rate to 100 Mbps Make it compatible with Standard Ethernet Keep the same 48-bit address and the same frame format Keep the same min. and max. frame length MAC Sublayer CSMA/CD for the half-duplex approach No need for CSMA/CD for full-duplex Fast Ethernet Autonegotiation: allow two devices to negotiate the mode or data rate of operation

Gigabit Ethernet
Under the name of IEEE 802.3z Upgrade the data rate to 1 Gbps Make it compatible with Standard or Fast Ethernet Keep the same 48-bit address and the same frame format Keep the same min. and max. frame length Support autonegotiation as defined in Fast Ethernet MAC Sublayer Most of all implmentations follows full-duplex approach In the full-duplex mode of Gigabit Ethernet, there is no collision; the maximum length of the cable is determined by the signal attenuation in the cable. Half-duplex mode (very rare) Traditional: 0.512 s (25m) Carrier Extension: 512 bytes (4096 bits) min. length Frame bursting to improve the inefficiency of carrier extension

Ten-Gigabit Ethernet
Under the name of IEEE 802.3ae Upgrade the data rate to 10 Gbps Make it compatible with Standard, Fast, and Giga Ethernet Keep the same 48-bit address and the same frame format Keep the same min. and max. frame length Allow the interconnection of existing LANs into a MAN or WAN Make Ethernet compatible with Frame Relay and ATM MAC Sublayer: Only in full-duplex mode no CSMA/CD
