Ethernet is controlled by the IEEE 802.3 body of standards, but its historical
development has also lead to deviations, such as the DIX Ethernet (also known as
Ethernet II), as well as vendor-specific implementations (such as 1000BASE-LH for
long-haul Ethernet). Except where noted, the following refers to IEEE standards.
IEEE Standards
The following 802 standards are available for free download from the IEEE website at

Requests for Comments (RFC) Documents
RFC documents are a series of memoranda on internet technologies, techniques, and
innovations. Organized through the Internet Society, RFCs are the best resource for
technical information on these technologies and protocols. Some RFCs become
internet standards through the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force).
All RFCs are available for free online at the RFC Editor: http://www.rfc-
editor.org/rfc.html, but most can be found easily simply by typing the RFC number
(such as ”RFC 791”) into a web browser.
The most common RFCs for Ethernet services testing are:
• RFC 768: User Datagram Protocol
• RFC 793: Transmission Control Protocol
• RFC 791: Internet Protocol
• RFC 792: Internet Control Message Protocol
• RFC 826: Ethernet Address Resolution Protocol
• RFC 2544: Benchmarking Methodology for Network Interconnect Devices
• RFC 2889: Benchmarking Methodology for LAN Switching Devices class uses
the label to determine the per hop behavior of the class.
