NIC: network standards

Network card: network standard local area network (LAN), the structure of three types: Ethernet (Ethernet), Token Ring, Token Ring, Token Bus (Token Bus), and three network backbone network fiber distributed data interface (FDDI). They follow the IEEE (the United States Association of Electrical Engineers) to develop standards of 802 at the beginning of a
total of 11 standards related to the LAN,
they are: IEEE 802.1--general networking concepts and bridge the IEEE 802.2 ─ - LLC such as the IEEE 802.3 ─ ─ CSMA / CD access method and physical layer specifies the IEEE 802.5 ─ ─ the Token Ring access method and physical layer provides the IEEE 802.6 IEEE 802.4 ─ ─ ARCnet, bus structure and access method and physical layer provides ─ ─ MAN access method and physical layer provides for the safety of the IEEE 802.11 of the IEEE 802.7 ─ ─ broadband local area network the IEEE 802.8 ─ ─ fiber-optic local area network (FDDI), the IEEE 802.9--the ISDN LAN IEEE 802.10 ─ ─ network ─ ─ wireless LAN
