你去IEEE申请到的MAC地址,是IEEE制定的802.3标准的MAC地址,虽然我们经常认为802.3=以太网,但是Ethernet和IEEE 802.3确实有区别。一个区别是,802.3指定了物理层和数据链路层的MAC部分,而DIX Ethernet规定了整个物理和数据链路层。802.3规定了不同的物理层,而DIX Ethernet仅仅规定了一种物理层。
所以我们现在谈的以太网是一种广泛意义上的,这种技术没有专利,所以可以随便引用,具体到实物,以及技术标准上,则是由802.3确定的。
DIX指3家公司:Digital、Intel和Xerox
IEEE:名义上是工程师协会,电子和电气工程师协会;看起来涉及的范围是非常广泛的,而事实上,最引人注目的,并且最具实际价值的是802.x系列标准。在维基百科上的IEEE条目里面说:
引用:
A number of Open Source software proponents, such as Richard Stallman and Daniel J. Bernstein, have criticized IEEE's copyright policy. When publishing with the IEEE, the author is forced to transfer his copyright to the IEEE, which then sells the paper in journals as well as online without paying anything to the authors or the reviewers. Attendance fees to conference meetings are also notoriously high. This has prompted the appearance of new, more open scientific publishers[11][12].However, publishing in IEEE journals is almost mandatory for those operating in the scientific communities of IEEE covered fields: impact factors of IEEE publications are among the highest.
某些开源软件的支持者一直不满IEEE的版权政策,凡是刊登在IEEE杂志上的著作,版权全部归IEEE所有,但不会支付作者和技术审校人任何费用。向参加会议者收取费用的一些东西也备受争议支持,顶一个。支持楼主支持,顶一个。支持楼主 |
