5、mmission) form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are members of ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through technical committees established by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity.
6、ISO and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the work. In the field of information technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical committee,
7、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 Board. The IEEE develops its standards through a consensus development process, approved by the American National Standards
8、Institute, which brings together volunteers representing varied viewpoints and interests to achieve the final product. Volunteers are not necessarily members of the Institute and serve without compensation. While the IEEE administers the process and establishes rules to promote fairness in the conse
9、nsus 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 JTC 1 is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the joint technical committee are circ
10、ulated 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 the possibility that implementation of this standard may require the use of subject matter covered by patent rights. By publ
11、ication 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 identifying essential patents or patent claims for which a license may be required, for conducting inquiries into the legal validity
12、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 Statement and Licensing Declaration Form, if any, or in any licensing agreements are reasonable or non-discriminatory. Users of th
13、is 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. Further information may be obtained from ISO or the IEEE Standards Association. ISO/IEC/IEEE 8802-1AX was prepared by the LAN/
14、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, Telecommunications and information exchange between systems, in parallel with its approval by the ISO/IEC national bodies, under the “fast-t
15、rack procedure” defined in the Partner Standards Development Organization cooperation agreement between ISO and IEEE.

Comments on standardsComments for revision of IEEE Standards documents are welcome from any interested party, regardless ofmembership affiliati

Suggestions for changes in documents should be in the form of aproposed change of text, together with appropriate supporting comments. Since IEEE standards represent aconsensus of con

For this reason, IEEE and the members of its societies andStandards Coordinating Committees are not able to provide an instant response to comments or questionsexcept
30、 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 revisions to an IEEEstandard is welcome to join the relevant IEEE working group.Comments on standards should be submitted

37、Standards documents Users of IEEE Standards documents should be aware that these documents may be superseded at any timeby the issuance of new editions or may be amended from time to time through the issuance of amendments,corrigenda, or errata. An official IEEE document at any point in time consist
38、s of the current edition of thedocument together with any amendments, corrigenda, or errata then in effect. Every IEEE standard is subjected to review at least every ten years. When a document is more than ten yearsold and has not undergone a revision process, it is reasonable to conclude that its c

Users are cautioned to check to determine thatthey have the latest edition of any IEEE standard.In order to determine whether a given document is the current edition and whether it has been amendedthrough the i
