Standards enable compatibility through a common “language” internationally. A technical standard is an established norm or requirement for a repeatable technical task. It is usually a formal document that establishes uniform engineering or technical criteria, methods, processes, and practices. In contrast, a custom, convention, company product, corporate standard, and so forth that becomes generally accepted and dominant is often called a de facto standard.[2]
If networking devices did not have standards, these devices could not reliably transmit messages back and forth.
Networks can be comprised of hundreds, thousands, or millions of different devices. In order for these devices to successfully connect they must use an agreed-upon standard.
