IEEE 802.3 is a working group and a collection of IEEE

standards produced by the working group dening the
physical layer and data link layer's media access control
(MAC) of wired Ethernet. This is generally a local area
network technology with some wide area network appli-
cations. Physical connections are made between nodes
and/or infrastructure devices (hubs, switches, routers) by
various types of copper or ber cable.
802.3 is a technology that supports the IEEE 802.1 net-
work architecture.
802.3 also denes LAN access method using CSMA/CD.
