IEEE LAN
protocol that specifies an implementation of the physical layer and the MAC
sublayer of the data-link layer. IEEE 802.3 uses CSMA/CD access at a variety of
speeds over a variety of physical media. Extensions to the IEEE 802.3 standard
specify implementations for Fast Ethernet. Physical variations of the original
IEEE 802.3 specification include 10BASE2, 10BASE5,
10BASE-F, 10BASE-T, and 10Broad36. Physical variations for
Fast Ethernet include 100BASE-T, 100BASE-T4, and
100BASE-X.
