A Mapping of the MAC Service to/from ISO/IEC 8802-3,
      ISO/IEC 8802-4, ISO/IEC 8802-5 and ISO/IEC 8802-7
      MAC Protocols

Lays down the Medium Access Control Service found in local area network architecture in abstract terms of the primitive actions and events of the service, the parameters associated with each primitive action and event, and the form they take, and the interrelationship between, and the valid sequences of, these actions and events. The objectives are to specify the characteristics of a conceptual Medium Access Control Service, guide the development of Medium Access Control Protocols, and guide the development of OSI protocols which make use of the MAC Service. Does not specify individual implementation or products, nor does it constrain the implementation of Medium Access Control entities and interfaces within an information processing system.
