10、 reserved iiiForeword ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical Commission) form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are members of ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Standards t
11、hrough technical committees established by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity. ISO and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, a
12、lso take part in the work. In the field of information technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical committee, ISO/IEC JTC 1. IEEE Standards documents are developed within the IEEE Societies and the Standards Coordinating Committees of the IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA) Standards
13、 Board. The IEEE develops its standards through a consensus development process, approved by the American National Standards Institute, which brings together volunteers representing varied viewpoints and interests to achieve the final product. Volunteers are not necessarily members of the Institute
14、and serve without compensation. While the IEEE administers the process and establishes rules to promote fairness in the consensus development process, the IEEE does not independently evaluate, test, or verify the accuracy of any of the information contained in its standards. The main task of ISO/IEC
15、 JTC 1 is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the joint technical committee are circulated to national bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the national bodies casting a vote. Attention is called to
16、 the possibility that implementation of this standard may require the use of subject matter covered by patent rights. By publication of this standard, no position is taken with respect to the existence or validity of any patent rights in connection therewith. ISO/IEEE is not responsible for identify
17、ing essential patents or patent claims for which a license may be required, for conducting inquiries into the legal validity or scope of patents or patent claims or determining whether any licensing terms or conditions provided in connection with submission of a Letter of Assurance or a Patent State
18、ment and Licensing Declaration Form, if any, or in any licensing agreements are reasonable or non-discriminatory. Users of this standard are expressly advised that determination of the validity of any patent rights, and the risk of infringement of such rights, is entirely their own responsibility. F
19、urther information may be obtained from ISO or the IEEE Standards Association. ISO/IEC/IEEE 8802-1AX was prepared by the LAN/MAN of the IEEE Computer Society (as IEEE 8802-1AX-2014). It was adopted by Joint Technical Committee ISO/IEC JTC 1, Information technology, Subcommittee SC 6, Telecommunicati
20、ons and information exchange between systems, in parallel with its approval by the ISO/IEC national bodies, under the “fast-track procedure” defined in the Partner Standards Development Organization cooperation agreement between ISO and IEEE. IEEE is responsible for the maintenance of this document

Comments on standardsComment
34、s for revision of IEEE Standards documents are welcome from any interested party, regardless ofmembership affiliation with IEEE. However, IEEE does not provide consulting information or advicepertaining to IEEE Standards documents. Suggestions for changes in documents should be in the form of apropo
35、sed change of text, together with appropriate supporting comments. Since IEEE standards represent aconsensus of concerned interests, it is important that any responses to comments and questions also receivethe concurrence of a balance of interests. For this reason, IEEE and the members of its societ
36、ies andStandards Coordinating Committees are not able to provide an instant response to comments or questionsexcept in those cases where the matter has previously been addressed. For the same reason, IEEE does notrespond to interpretation requests. Any person who would like to participate in revisio
