Determination of the W-mass and the WW and ZZ cross-section at LEP

We review the precision measurement of the mass of the W-boson at LEP. We discuss the techniques used by the four LEP experiments to determine the mass of the W-boson as well as the major sources of systematic uncertainty. The measurement of the WW and ZZ cross-sections are presented.
