0-9802IEEE 802 (IEEE Std. 802-2001) is a family of standards for
peer-to-peer communication over a LAN. These technologies use a
shared-medium, with information broadcast for all stations to
receive. The basic communications capabilities provided are
packet-based. The basic unit of transmission is a sequence of
data octets (8-bits), which can be of any length within a range
that is dependent on the type of LAN.Included in the 802 family
of IEEE standards are definitions of bridging, management, and
security protocols.802.1xIEEE 802.1x (IEEE Std. 802.1x-2001) is
a standard for passing EAP packets over an 802.11 wireless
network using a protocol called EAP Encapsulation Over LANs
(EAPOL). It establishes a framework that supports multiple
authentication methods.IEEE 802.1x authenticates users not
machines.802.2802.3IEEE 802.3 (IEEE Std. 802.3-2002) defines the
MAC layer for networks that use CSMA/CA. Ethernet is an example
of such a network.802.11IEEE 802.1
