Notes:
1) The bit marked 'Z' is the least significant bit and represents: i) The command/response identifier bit in an SSAP field; or ii) The address type designation bit (set to the value 'O" - individual) in a DSAP field 2) LSAP values that are neither assigned nor identified for unreserved use are reserved

The following numbered list provides additional information about each of the protocols in table 1. The numbers in the list correspond to the numbers in parenthesis shown in the document reference column.

1)  Used in ISO/IEC 8802-2 as the Null Address
2)  Used by IEEE 802.1B: IEEE Standard for LAN/MAN Management
3)  Used in ISO/IEC 10038: Media Access Control (MAC) Bridges, to identify the
Bridge Spanning Tree Protocol
4)  Used in IEEE Std 802-1990: LAN/MAN Overview and Architecture of Network
Standards, to identify the SNAP/SAP
5)  Used in RFC 791: ARPANET/IP, Internet Protocol, DARPA Internet Program
Protocol Specification, to identify the Internet Protocol
6)  Used in IEC 955:1989, Process Data Highway, Type C (Proway C), for
Distributed Process Control Systems to identify Network Management Maintenance 
and Initialization
7)  Used in IEC 955:1989, Process Data Highway, Type C (Proway C), for
Distributed Process Control Systems, to identify Active station list
Maintenance
8)  Used in ISO 9506:1990, Industrial Automation Systems - Manufacturing Message
Specification- Part 1: Service Definition 1st Edition; Part 2: Protocol
Specification 1st Edition, Part 3: Robot Specific Message Systems, to identify
Manufacturing Message Service
9)  Used to identify ISO 8208:1990, Information Processing Systems - Data
Communication- X.25 packet layer protocol for data terminal equipment, as the
Network Layer Protocol
10) Used to identify ISO/IEC TR 9577

The preceding table lists individual and group LLC address values. Other important references are:

Group LLC Addresses

There is one Group LLC address assigned and referenced in a document, FF hexadecimal/ 1111 1111 binary; it is used in ISO 8802-2 as the global DSAP address.

03 to B3 hexadecimal/1100 0000 to 1111 1110 binary addresses are reserved for assignment by ISO/IEC JTC1/SC6. The meaning and use of the reserved Group LLC addresses are for further study.

01 to FD hexadecimal/ 1000 0000 to 1011 1111 addresses are unreserved; however LSAP values that are neither assinged nor identified for unreserved use are reserved.

Note that for the topic of group LLC address values, the leftmost bit in this table is the least significant bit and represents the address type designation bit (set to the value '1' - Group) in the DSAP field.

ISO/IEC Technical Report 10178 -- 1991 Information Technology -- Telecommunications and Information Exchange Between Systems -- The Structure and Coding of Logical Link Control adresses in Local Area Networks.

TR 10178 includes : a.) procedures for assignment of reserved addresses, b.) information on the format of Logical Link address, and c.) references to a definition of a mechanism to allow proprietary protocols to be identified when conveyed by LLC.

IEEE Std 8O2-1990. IEEE Standards for Local and Metropolitan Area Networks: Overview and Architecture.

This document serves as the foundation for the family of IEEE 8O2 Standards for local and metropolitan area networks. It contains descriptions of the networks considered as well as a reference model for protocol standards. Compliance with the family of IEEE 8O2 Standards is defined, and a standard for the identification of public, private, and standard protocols is included. Universal addresses and protocol identifiers are considered.

ISO 8802-2: 1989; IEEE Std 8O2.2-1989. Information processing systems Local area networks Part 2: Logical Link Control.

This standard is part of the family of local area network (LAN) standards dealing with the physical and data link layers as defined by the ISO Open Systems Interconnection Reference Model. It describes the functions, features, protocol, and services of the logical link control (LLC) sublayer, which constitutes the top sublayer in the data link layer of the ISO 8802 Local Area Network Protocol. The services required of, or by, the LLC sublayer at the logical interfaces with the network layer, the MAC sublayer, and the LLC sublayer management function are specified. The protocol data unit (PDU) structure for data communication systems is defined using bit-oriented procedures, as are two types of operation for data communication between service access points. In one type of operation, PDUs are exchanged between LLCs without the need for the establishment of a data link connection. In the other, a data link connection is established between two LLCs prior to any exchange of information-bearing PDUs.

There is a type 3, acknowledged connectionless amendment to this standard that has not completed its approval process but is available in draft form as 802.2b.
