scope:

This Standard defines a minimal method to transport IEEE 802 data frames unidirectionally over ANSI E1.11 physical links in entertainment lighting control networks using an Alternate START Code. The primary motivation is to allow communication of IEEE 802 data to luminaires for data transmission by those luminaires using Visible Light Communication, IEEE 802.15.7. However, this Standard may be used to transport any IEEE 802 data for any purpose.

The packet format described in this Standard allows for the transmission of data frames up to 129,280 octets., which is larger than the largest IEEE 802 data frame permitted at the time of this Standard's drafting. The transportation method described in this Standard should not be used to transport frames larger than 129,280 octets.
