802.1 Architecture Document
Abstract: IEEE Std , IEEE Standard for Local and Metropolitan Area Networks: Overview and Architecture, provides an overview to the family of IEEE 802 standards. It describes the relationship of the IEEE 802 standards to the Open Systems Interconnection Basic Reference Model [ISO/IEC :1994] and explains the relationship of these standards to the higher layer protocols; it provides a standard for the structure of LAN MAC addresses; it provides a standard for identification of public, private, prototype, and standard protocols; and it defines an Object Identifier hierarchy used within IEEE 802 for uniform allocation of Object Identifiers used in IEEE 802 standards

ARC Future Activities & sessions
SC Chair & WG Chair have (in 2009) decided to “hibernate” the ARC SC…
until industry conditions improve, or
a specific focused task is requested of the SC for which the is sufficient volunteer interest
Therefore, ARC SC will not be scheduling formal sessions again, until/unless the above happens again
If you have a topic that you would like ARC SC assistance with, contact the SC chair and we’ll see what we can do.
