From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
The IEEE 802 LAN/MAN Standards Committee (LMSC) is a committee within the IEEE that develops local area network standards and metropolitan area network standards. The most widely used standards are for the Ethernet family, Token Ring, Wireless LAN, Bridging and Virtual Bridged LANs. An individual Working Group provides the focus for each area.
