This Recommended Practice specifies extensions to the behavior of MAC Bridges to facilitate interoperability in bridged networks containing a mixture of IEEE 802.3 LANs and other types of LANs. To avoid future incompatibilities, this Technical Report provides guidelines for the identification of protocols operating over IEEE 802 MACs, with particular emphasis on protocols that use the Ethernet Type field.
This Recommended Practice provides guidelines for protocol identification and translation rules for bridges to support interoperability between IEEE 802.2 and Ethernet Type based protocols.
The need for this revision project is that IEEE 802.1H is in need of updating in a number of areas to reflect developments in Bridging since its publication and to correct inaccuracies in the text that have resulted from changes in other standards.
