IEEE 802 refers to a family of IEEE standards dealing with local area networks and metropolitan area networks.

The services and protocols specified in IEEE 802 map to the lower two layers (Data Link and Physical) of the seven-layer OSI networking reference model. In fact, IEEE 802 splits the OSI Data Link Layer into two sub-layers named Logical Link Control (LLC) and Media Access Control (MAC) , so that the layers can be listed like this:

• Data link layer (LLC Sublayer,MAC Sublayer)
• Physical layer
