The IEEE 802.3 Ethernet Working Group develops standards for Ethernet based local and metropolitan area networks using the following technologies:
- Ethernet over copper twisted-pair, optical fiber, and direct connect media
- DTE Power via MDI (Power over Ethernet or PoE)
- Energy Efficient Ethernet
- Ethernet backplanes
IEEE Std 802.3™-2012 “IEEE Standard for Ethernet” was developed by the IEEE 802.3 Maintenance Task Force and published in December, 2012. This revised Standard incorporates approved maintenance changes and the content of the following amendments into the previous edition IEEE Std 802.3™-2008 Standard:
- IEEE Std 802.3™-2008/Cor1-2009 (Pause Reaction Delay Corrigendum)
- IEEE Std 802.3at™-2009 (DTE Power Enhancements)
- IEEE Std 802.3av™-2009 (10Gb/s PHY for EPON)
- IEEE Std 802.3az™-2010 (Energy-efficient Ethernet)
- IEEE Std 802.3ba™-2010 (40Gb/s and 100Gb/s Ethernet)
- IEEE Std 802.3bc™-2009 (Ethernet Organizationally Specific type, length, values (TLVs))
- IEEE Std 802.3bf™-2011 (Ethernet Support for the IEEE P802.1AS Time Synchronization Protocol)
- IEEE Std 802.3bg™-2011 (40Gb/s Ethernet Single-mode Fibre PMD)
