standard for auto-negotiation

May 24, 2007 1 Replies

Who defines the standard for auto-negotiation? Is there any specific standard saying that NIC cards should work like this? Please help me in this.

IEEE, just like all aspects of Ethernet.

it was integrated into the main 802.3 spec in 1998, IIRC. It is specified in Clause 28 of the 802.3 standard.
