Networking Standards

Networking standards are agreed-upon rules and guidelines that ensure different devices and software can communicate effectively over a network. They cover aspects like data formats, transmission speeds, and connectivity methods. For example, Wi-Fi standards define how wireless devices connect to the internet, while Ethernet standards govern wired connections. These standards help maintain compatibility, reliability, and performance across various technology brands and types, allowing users to share information and resources smoothly, regardless of the equipment they use.
