Editing 100BaseVG (section)

== Standardization ==
100BaseVG started in the [[IEEE 802.3]] committee as [[Fast Ethernet]]. One faction wanted to keep [[carrier-sense multiple access with collision detection]] (CSMA/CD) in order to keep it pure Ethernet, even though the collision domain problem limited the distances to one tenth that of [[10BASE-T]]. Another faction wanted to change to a polling architecture from the hub (they called it "[[Demand priority|Demand Priority Protocol]]") in order to maintain the 10BASE-T distances, and also to make it a deterministic protocol. The first faction argued that, since IEEE 802.3 was the Ethernet committee, it was not the place to develop a different protocol. Thus, the '''IEEE 802.12''' committee was formed and standardized 100BaseVG.
