IEEE 802 LAN/MAN Standards CommitteeOVERVIEWTerms of ReferenceThe IEEE 802 Local and Metropolitan Area Network Standards Committee has the basic charter to create, maintain, and encourage the use of IEEE/ANSI and equivalent IEC/ISO JTC 1 standards primarily within layers 1 and 2 of the OSI (Open System Interconnection) Reference Model. The committee has met at least three times per year as a Plenary body ever since it was formed in February 1980. As requested by individual countries, the IEEE series of standards are internationalized in JTC1. The IEEE series of standards are known as IEEE 802.xxx and the JTC 1 series of equivalent standards are known as ISO/IEC 8802-nnn. In the IEEE 802 context "local" means campus and "metropolitan" means intracity.In March 2000, the IEEE 802 celebrated its 20 years of operation and was awarded the IEEE Third Millennium Medal for outstanding contribution to the Industry.Basic Standards FamilyIEEE 802 has Multiple Working Groups with average total participation of about 600 individuals at Plenary sessions. Within IEEE 802 there are six distinct categories of standards as follows:
The level of activity in 2000 within IEEE 802 should remain strong with increases from the attendance levels in 1999. For more information on IEEE 802, see the IEEE 802 Home Page. 2000 Accomplishments (Up to Oct-2000)Highlights
