What is the State of the VG Standard?
100VG AnyLAN is based on the IEEE 802.12 standard for transmitting 802.3 Ethernet and 802.5 Token Ring frame information at 100 megabits per second. The 802.2 Standard was ratified on Wednesday, June 14, 1995 at the IEEE Standards Board meeting in Geneva, Switzerland. The 802.12 committee is also discussing some nifty possible new extensions to VG, such as faster data transfer rates in (400mpbs for copper, and 1gigabit+ for fiber), redundant links between hubs, full duplex links, and burst packet transfers.
