Network architecture, protocols, and standards play a crucial role in the future development of the web, as they form the underlying infrastructure that enables the web to function.

Network architecture refers to the way in which networks are designed and organized, including the hardware, software, and protocols that are used. Network architectures can vary in terms of their size, complexity, and intended use, and they can be designed to support a wide range of applications and services.

Protocols are the rules and standards that are used to govern the communication and interaction between different devices and systems on a network. Protocols can include standards for how data is transmitted, formatted, and secured, as well as rules for error correction and other aspects of network communication.

Standards are technical specifications or guidelines that are used to ensure interoperability and compatibility between different devices, systems, or applications. Standards can include guidelines for how data is transmitted, formatted, and secured, as well as standards for hardware and software interfaces.

In the future, network architecture, protocols, and standards are likely to continue to evolve and change as the web and the technologies that support it develop. These changes may include the adoption of new protocols and standards to support new applications and services, as well as changes to network architecture to support increased bandwidth, security, and performance.

In summary, network architecture, protocols, and standards play a crucial role in the future development of the web by providing the underlying infrastructure that enables the web to function and by ensuring interoperability and compatibility between different devices, systems, and applications.


== Do you understand this? ==

From the IB: Develop an appreciation that the future development of the web will have an effect on the rules and structures that support it.


== Standards ==
These standards are used from the IB Computer Science Subject Guide<ref>IB Diploma Programme Computer science guide (first examinations 2014). Cardiff, Wales, United Kingdom: International Baccalaureate Organization. January 2012.</ref>
