This specifies the general interface between the network layer (IP etc.) and the Data Link layer (Ethernet, Token Ring etc.) It’s the standard for the upper Data Link layer sublayer, also known as the Logical Link Control layer. It’s responsible for flow and error control. The Data Link layer wants to send some data over the network, 802.2 LLC helps make this possible.
b. 802.3 – Ethernet
802.3 is the standard which Ethernet operates by. The original 802.3 standard is 10mbps. Commonly, Ethernet networks transmit data in packets, as previously stated. A packet can be a minimum size of 72 bytes or a maximum of 1518 bytes.
The most common topology for Ethernet is the star topology, which will be explained later in this report.

802.7
IEEE 802.7 is a sub-standard of the IEEE 802 which covers broadband local area networks with a coaxial cable. This standard was developed for cable internet companies.
e. 802.11 (a, b, g, n) – Wireless Network Standards
802.11 is the collection of standards setup for wireless networking. They include four different standards including; 802.11a, 802.b, 802.11g and the most recent standard 802.11n. Each standard uses a frequency to connect to the network and has a defined upper limit for data transfer speeds.
802.11a – This was one of the first wireless standards. It operates in the 5GHz radio band and can achieve a maximum of 54Mbps.
802.11b – This was the more preferred choice because of the lower price and higher range. It operates in the 2.4GHz band and supports up to 11 Mbps. The range goes up to around several hundred feet in theory. It was the first real consumer option for wireless and very popular.
802.11g – Similar to 802.11b, it operates in the 2.4GHz band and therefore meaning it is compatible with the 802.11b equipment. It can also achieve a maximum of 54 Mbps. 802.11a is not compatible with the 802.11b or 802.11g since it operates within a different
