ICMP
Internet Control Message Protocol
ICMP is a message control and error-reporting protocol between a host server and a gateway to the Internet. ICMP uses Internet Protocol datagram, but the messages are processed by the IP software and are not directly apparent to the application user.
An extension to IP that permits extra control, test and error messages to be incorporated into the packet stream

IEEE - 802.x
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
| 802.1 |
Internetworking. A specification for spanning tree bridges and the spanning tree protocol. This is a hardware level network management standard for Ethernet MAC-layer bridges and the Heterogeneous LAN Management specification for both Ethernet and Token Ring hubs. There's also 802.1q for the interoperability of VLANs. |
| 802.2 |
LLC - Logical Link Control.A Logical Link Control protocol based on HDLC for LAN and MAN link-level control. It specifies the transmission of data between two stations at the Data-link layer. It defines the handling of errors, framing, flow control and the Layer 3 service interface. It is used in both 802.3 and 802.5 LANs. |
| 802.3 |
CSMA/CD - Ethernet.A modified form of CSMA/CD for Ethernet in its various forms; 10Base-5 is virtually the original Ethernet. This protocol specifies the Physical layer and the MAC sub-layer of the Data-link. See CSMA/CD and 10Base-#. For Ethernet operating at 100 Mb/s over premises Category 5 cabling and fiber, the IEEE has now created a new sub-set called 802.3u. |
| 802.4 |
Token Bus LAN.The Token-passing bus specification. This protocol specifies the Physical layer and the MAC sub-layer of a broadband system. It is physically a linear bus or tree, but logically the stations on the ring are aware of their neighbors. It uses coaxial cable for robustness, and token-passing for maximum predictability. It is used in some manufacturing networks. |
| 802.5 |
Token Ring LAN.Token Ring specification. This comes in both 4Mb/s and 16Mb/s rates. The physical wiring is shielded twisted pair in a star topology with a hub at the center (although it is a logical ring). An addendum to this Protocol specifies source-routing bridges also. It is almost identical to IBM's Token Ring. |
| 802.6 |
MAN - Metropolitan Area Network.DQDB for MANs |
| 802.7 |
Broadband Technical Advisory Group.Defined for broadband LANs which can carry video, data and voice. It uses radio frequencies over coaxial cable, and generally has a tree topology. |
| 802.8 |
Fiber-Optic Technical Advisory Group |
| 802.9 |
Integrated Voice / Data Network. Interface for LAN-to-ISDN links. |
| 802.10 |
Network Security.This defines a single packet type which has both a MAC layer frame header, and a special 802.10 header. This focuses on network security at the Data-link layer, but it also provides a mechanism by which a packet can carry a virtual LAN identifier. A 4-Byte special header carrying the VLAN ID is inserted between the LAN packet's MAC header and the data. |
| 802.11 |
Wireless Networks. Wireless LAN standards (line-of-sight infra-red, and spread spectrum) proposals for up to 1000 nodes and 20Mbit/s data rates. This standard will specify one MAC layer (based upon an original proposal from Xircom) supporting both peer-to-peer and hub-based topologies. The standard envisages multiple Physical layers: one for Direct Sequence spread spectrum and one for Frequency Hopping. Infra-red and narrowband microwave will also be included. The CDMA standard seems to be developing strong support in both the US and Europe. See Hiperlan and SuperNet also. |
| 802.11B |
11 Mbit/s using the 2.4 GHz frequency |
| 802.12 |
Demand Priority Access LAN, 100 Base VG - AnyLAN |
| 802.14 |
Cable modem standards for HFC networks. These cable systems must each be capable of supporting 2000 cable modems, and be up to 160km long. The work is still in the early stages. |
IGMP

Integrated Services Digital Network - CCITT
Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) is a set of CCITT/ITU standards for digital transmission over ordinary telephone copper wire as well as over other media. Home and business users who install an ISDN adapter (in place of a modem) can see highly-graphic Web pages arriving very quickly (up to 128 Kbps). ISDN requires adapters at both ends of the transmission so your access provider also needs an ISDN adapter. ISDN is generally available from your phone company in most urban areas in the United States and Europe.
