Encyclopedia
IEEE 802.1 is a working group
of the IEEE 802
project of the IEEE Standards Association
.
It is concerned with:
The IEEE 802 LAN/MAN Standards Committee makes current standards freely available, after a six month delay, through their Get IEEE 802.1 program.
Other recent 802.1 standards are available through the IEEE for a fee.
Working group
A working group is an interdisciplinary collaboration of researchers working on new research activities that would be difficult to develop under traditional funding mechanisms . The lifespan of the WG can last anywhere between a few months and several years...
