PAR â Project Authorization Request An approved PAR is needed before official work is begun on a standard project. It serves as the work authorization by the IEEE-SA Standards Board. NesCom examines PARs and makes recommendations to the IEEE-SA Standards Board regarding their approval. An approved PAR is valid for 4 years. The PAR is referred to when the standard is submitted to RevCom for approval.
IEEE 802.1Q is the networking standard that supports virtual LANs (VLANs) on an Ethernet network. The standard defines a system of VLAN tagging for Ethernet frames and the accompanying procedures to be used by bridges and switches in handling such frames. The standard also contains provisions for a quality-of-service prioritization scheme commonly known as IEEE 802.1p and defines the Generic Attribute Registration Protocol. Portions of the network which are VLAN-aware (i.e., IEEE 802.1Q conformant) can include VLAN tags.
