MAC Overview
Connection-oriented technology
Explicit service flow reservation is mandatory
Real-time environments usage can be compromised

Convergence Sublayer (CS)
Set of classifiers to identify and differentiate the packets
Each classifier maps the incoming packet to a specific CID
CID has a service flow associated with a set of QoS parameters
802.3/Ethernet, IPv4, IPv6 …
