IEEE 802.3 is an IEEE/ANSI standard and a Draft International Standard
within ISO (DIS 8802/3).  It is also a Federal Information Processing
Standard in the US as FIPS PUB 107.

IEEE 802.4 has the same status while 802.5 isn't quite at the ISO/DIS level.
802.5 is a Draft Proposal.

The IEEE Computer Society publishes the standard which can be ordered from
them for $21.95 ($19.95+handling for IEEE members - include membership number).
