ExpressionsDefinition
IEEE 802.9The IEEE 802.9 standard defines an Isochronous Ethernet (IsoEnet) and is designed to carry bursty and time-critical traffic. The system bandwidth is 16Mbps, which is identified as a 10Mbps asynchronous channel and ninety six 64Kbps channels, available for specific data streams. (references)

Extended Definition: IEEE 802.9

IEEE 802.9

The 802.9 Working Group of the IEEE 802 networking committee developed standards for integrated voice and data access over existing Category 3 twisted-pair network cable installations. Its major standard was usually known as isoEthernet.

IsoEthernet combines 10 megabits per second Ethernet and 96 64-kilobits per second ISDN "B" channels. It was originally developed to provide data and voice/video over the same wire without degradation by fixing the amount of bandwidth assigned to the Ethernet and B-channel sides.

There was some vendor support for isoEthernet, but it lost in the marketplace to the rapid adoption of Fast Ethernet and the working group was disbanded.
