Standards
A documented set of procedures for doing things to
ensure interdependency between different manufacturers
6
Types of Standards
A standard is a generally agreed-upon technology, method or format for a
given application.
• Official standards, also known as de jure standards, are overseen by one of
a number of governing bodies that exist to promote their development and
confirm their status. The IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force), for
example, is a standards organization that defines Internet
operating protocols such as TCP/IP.
• Standards that are endorsed by the IETF and similar organizations are
known as de jure standards.
• De facto standards, on the other hand, gain prominence because they are
widely used. Examples of de facto standards
include Microsoft’s Windows operating system and the QWERTY
keyboard layout.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN INTERNET, INTRANET, AND
EXTRANET
• Intranet: collection of private computer networks within an
organization
• An "extranet" is a computer network that allows controlled
access from the outside for specific business or educational
purposes
• Internet: A global network connecting millions of computers

Open Systems Interconnectivity (OSI) Reference Model.
