Institute of Electrical And Electronics Engineers

IEEE standards ( Institute of Electrical And Electronics Engineers ) is an association that promotes engineering and electronic improvement.

      IEEE is a non- project organization. A new project group called 802 was started in Feb 1980 to define network standards. IEEE802 committee defines frames, speed,distance and types of cabling to use for networking.
