IEEE 802.3
IEEE 802.3 is a
media access control (MAC) of wired Ethernet. The standards are produced by the working group of Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). This is generally a local area network (LAN) technology with some wide area network (WAN) applications. Physical connections are made between nodes and/or infrastructure devices (hubs, switches, routers) by various types of copper or fiber cable
.
802.3 is a technology that supports the IEEE 802.1 network architecture.
802.3 also defines a LAN access method using CSMA/CD.
