'''IEEE 802.3''' is a [[working group]] and a collection of standards defining the [[physical layer]] and [[data link layer]]'s [[media access control]] (MAC) of wired [[Ethernet]]. The standards are produced by the working group of the [[Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers]] (IEEE). This set of standards generally applies to [[local area network]]s (LANs) and has some [[wide area network]] (WAN) applications. Physical connections are made between network nodes and, usually, various network infrastructure devices ([[Ethernet hub|hub]]s, [[Network switch|switches]], [[router (computing)|router]]s) by various types of copper cables or [[optical fiber]]. | '''IEEE 802.3''' is a [[working group]] and a collection of standards defining the [[physical layer]] and [[data link layer]]'s [[media access control]] (MAC) of wired [[Ethernet]].

The IEEE 802 Local and Metropolitan Area Networks Committee was formed in 1980 to create a single standard for the lower layers of a local or metropolitan area network. At the time, there were three approaches to local area networking: IBM’s token ring, the DEC-Intel-Xerox Ethernet, and the token bus. Because the group could not agree on a single approach, three working groups were formed, 802.3 for Ethernet (called CSMA/CD), 802.4 for token bus, and 802.5 for token ring. An Ethernet network had already been implemented at Xerox Parc to connect Alto computers to a laser printer in 1973. In 1980, Digital, Intel, and Xerox published a “standard” called the DIX standard.<ref>{{cite journal |author1=Digital Equipment Corporation |author2=Intel Corporation |author3=Xerox Corporation |title=The ethernet: a local area network: data link layer and physical layer specifications |journal=ACM SIGCOMM Computer Communication Review |url=https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/1015591.1015594|date=July 1981 |volume=11 |issue=3 |pages=20–66 |doi=10.1145/1015591.1015594 |url-access=subscription }}</ref> In 1982, they published a second version.<ref>{{Cite report |url=http://decnet.ipv7.net/docs/dundas/aa-k759b-tk.pdf |title=The Ethernet, A Local Area Network.

IEEE 802.3 is a working group and a collection of standards defining the physical layer and data link layer's media access control (MAC) of wired Ethernet. The standards are produced by the working group of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). This set of standards generally applies to local area networks (LANs) and metropolitan area networks.[1] It also has some applications to access networks and wide area network (WAN) applications. The international standard IEEE/ISO/IEC 8802-3-2021 was adopted from 802.3-2018.[2]
Physical connections are made between network nodes and, usually, various network infrastructure devices (hubs, switches, routers) by various types of copper cables or optical fiber.
802.3 standards support the IEEE 802.1 network architecture.
802.3 also defines a LAN access method using carrier-sense multiple access with collision detection (CSMA/CD).
Communication standards
The IEEE 802 Local and Metropolitan Area Networks Committee was formed in 1980 to create a single standard for the lower layers of a local or metropolitan area network. At the time, there were three approaches to local area networking: IBM’s token ring, the DEC-Intel-Xerox Ethernet, and the token bus. Because the group could not agree on a single approach, three working groups were formed, 802.3 for Ethernet (called CSMA/CD), 802.4 for token bus, and 802.5 for token ring. An Ethernet network had already been implemented at Xerox Parc to connect Alto computers to a laser printer in 1973. In 1980, Digital, Intel, and Xerox published a “standard” called the DIX standard.[3] In 1982, they published a second version.[4] The first IEEE Standard for the CSMA/CD approach was based on the DIX standard.[5] The original IEEE standard for Ethernet was named "IEEE Standards for Local Area Networks: Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) Access Method and Physical Layer Specifications” and subsequent standards were named similarly, until 2012 when it became simply “Standard for Ethernet”. This was because of sensitivities around using a commercial product as the basis for a standard.[6] Template:Sticky header
