Foreword to ISO/IEC 8802-5 : 1998/Amd. 1: 1998

This International Standard is part of a family of International Standards for Local and Metropolitan Area Networks.

This family of International Standards deals with the Physical and Data Link layers as defined by the ISO/IEC Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Basic Reference Model (ISO/IEC 7498-1 : 1994). The access Standards define seven types of medium access technologies and associated physical media, each appropriate for particular applications or System objectives. Other types are under investigation.

The International Standards defining the access technologies are as follows:

a) ISO/IEC 8802-3, utilizing carrier sense multiple access with collision detection (CSMAKD) as the access method.
b) ISO/IEC 8802-4, utilizing token passing bus as the access method.
C) ISO/IEC 8802-5, utilizing token passing ring as the access method.
d) ISO/IEC 8802-6, utilizing distributed queuing dual bus as the access method.
e> ISO/IEC 8802-9, a unified access method offering integrated Services for backbone networks.
f) ISO/IEC DIS 8802-11, a wireless LAN utilizing carrier sense multiple access with collision avoid-ante (CSMAKA) as the access method.
g) ISO/IEC DIS 8802- 12, utilizing Demand Priority as the access method. See more
