Network standards make sure or insures the interoperability of networking technologies by identifying networked devicecommunication rules. There are network standards to ensure that products from various vendors can work together in the same network without the risk of incompatibility. The standards are classified documents that constitute technical and physical network specifications. By following certain standards, networks can be efficient and reliable.
Types of network standards
There are two different types of network standards as; De facto standard and De jure standard.
De facto standard: De facto means by tradition or facts. Without formal planning, these standards are developed. Due to historical developments, these standards arise. Many organizations in the world still use these standards. SNA is a de facto standard example.
De jure standard: De jure means by law or regulation. These standards are actually developed with appropriate research to meet the data communication requirements. The main organization for the development of communication protocols and standards is the following: The International Standard Organization (ISO), American National Standard Institute (ANSI), Institute of electrical and electronics engineers (IEEE) and Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). Many different standards must be used instantaneously for the operation of a network. Each layer and standard is different, but all needs to work together to send and receive messages. The receiver and sender of message must use the same standards or more likely there are devices between them which translates from one standard to another.
Some of the IEEE standards (802.x) with several other standards that have been completed and are follows;
