    Standards and protocols are technical rules that enable compatibility and facilitate communication between IT systems. Protocols define how data is exchanged over networks using standards like HTTP, FTP, and SMTP. Standards govern hardware, software, information, communication protocols on the internet, character representations, and component design features that allow for interoperability between devices and operating systems. Formal standards are official versions set by international bodies, while de facto standards become widely-used through social adoption rather than an official body.

    10 Standards and Protocols


    1) Define standards
    Standards and protocols are technical rules and conventions that
    enable compatibility and therefore facilitate communication
    between different IT systems and their components.

    Protocol is a standard that is used for exchanging data over


    networks. Ex. HTTP, WWW, FTP, SMTP

    They might govern the design and use of hardware, software and
    information. For example:

     Communication protocols used on the internet (TCP/IP)

     ASCII representations for characters

     The design of the ports on a personal computer


    The features of hardware/software components which allow these
    components to communicate with each other.
    Ex. USB port, mouse port, …
    Ex. Operating systems (Windows, Mac, Android, iOS)
    2) Describe the types of standards.
    - Formal standards: official standard by international bodies (Mac
    OS, TCP/IP, http,…)
    - De facto standard: it becomes a standard because of society use
    and push (Windows)
