  Internet standard - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An Internet standard is a specification for an innovative internetworking technology or methodology, which the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) ratified as an open standard after the innovation underwent peer review.
An Internet standard begins as an Internet Draft, which may then be published (usually after several revisions) as a Request for Comments (RFC) memorandum.
An Internet standard, which may simply be referred to as a standard, is characterized by a high degree of technical maturity and by a generally held belief that the specified protocol or service provides significant benefit to the Internet community.

RFC 2026 Internet Standards Process October 1996 As noted in section 4.1, there are TSs that are not in the standards track or that have been retired from the standards track, and are therefore not required, recommended, or elective.
RFC 2026 Internet Standards Process October 1996 The IAB decision is final with respect to the question of whether or not the Internet standards procedures have been followed and with respect to all questions of technical merit.
RFC 2026 Internet Standards Process October 1996 have been removed (for any reason) from the Internet-Drafts directories shall be archived by the IETF Secretariat for the sole purpose of preserving an historical record of Internet standards activity and thus are not retrievable except in special circumstances.

 NG07c: Internet Standards
Standards are not limited to physical aspects of computing such as dimensions of a component or the configuration of a connecting cable.
De facto standards are standards which arise usually gradually as one type of software, data format, or language becomes increasingly popular.
Video standards relate to such things as how a computer sends signals to a monitor to display images as well as how moving images (video) can be stored and played back over the Internet or downloaded and played on a computer.

This RFC specifies a protocol standard for the Internet community.
Note that the 802.3 standard specifies a transmission rate of from 1 Postel & Reynolds [Page 2] RFC 1042 IP and ARP on IEEE 802 Networks February 1988 to 20 megabit/second, the 802.4 standard specifies 1, 5, and 10 megabit/second, and the 802.5 standard specifies 1 and 4 megabit/second.
Broadcast Address The broadcast Internet address (the address on that network with a host part of all binary ones) should be mapped to the broadcast IEEE 802 address (of all binary ones) (see [8] page 14).

The Internet Society was formed in 1992, partially to provide a legal umbrella over the IETF standards process and to provide some funding for IETF-related activities.
Draft Standards must have demonstrated that the documentation is clear and that any intellectual property rights issues with the proposal are understood and resolvable.
Restricting participation in the standards development process often results in standards that do not do as good a job of meeting the needs of the user or vendor communities as they might or are more complex than the operator community can reasonably support.

 A Standard Default Color Space for the Internet - sRGB
The camera gamma 1.0/2.2 was the standard for television camera encoding before the advent of color TVs and was formalized in 1953 with the NTSC broadcast television standards.
There are two parts to the proposed standard described in this paper; the viewing environment parameters with its dependencies on the human visual system and the standard device space colorimetric definitions and transformations.
We believe that the addition of standard color space, sRGB, support to the Internet, device drivers and operating systems is a complementary addition to the existing color management support that utilizes and expands the benefits and availability of color management to a broader range of users.

An announcement almost two months ago in Japan about a consortium of TV manufacturers developing an Internet TV standard got brief mention in the television and computer trade press, but it could be a warning shot from yet another competitor in the video distribution marketplace.
One natural advantage Internet TV brings over terrestrial, cable and satellite TV comes in the video-on-demand field, where tens of thousands of movies can sit on servers throughout the world, waiting for the Internet TV viewer to beckon them to his screen.
The five companies developing the Internet TV standard are not willing to put their new products up for sale and wait for a content distribution network to develop on its own.

 - Controversy over Chinese WLAN standard deepens - Internet Business News
The Chinese WLAN standard, called GB15629.11-2003, is very similar to the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.'s (IEEE's) 802.11 standard, commonly known as Wireless Fidelity or Wi-Fi, but it uses a different security protocol, called WLAN Authentication and Privacy Infrastructure (WAPI).
The Chinese standard for WLANs was approved by the Standardization Administration of China (SAC) in May and came into effect on Dec. 1, although a transition period has been granted that extends the compliance deadline for some WLAN products until June 1, 2004.
Seen as a whole, the implementation of the Chinese WLAN standard and the licensing requirements have fundamentally changed a market that had previously been open to foreign equipment vendors by creating a new barrier to trade, Stevenson-Yang said.

All Internet standards and many other Internet specifications are documented in a series of documents called Request for Comments or RFCs.
While the Internet standards may be the most famous of Internet documents, they are far from the only ones.
These are Internet standards, and each STD points to one or more RFCs that contain the specification(s) for that particular standard.

 Flaw found in common Internet standard | CNET News.com
Two papers providing detailed analysis of the vulnerability were released recently by security firms Guardent and BindView.
While some details had been released three months ago, the two papers point out deficiencies in the way such numbers are created by many operating systems, such as Microsoft's Windows 95 and Window 98 and Sun Microsystems' Solaris version of Unix.
The problem, said Jeffrey S. Havrilla, Internet security analyst for the CERT Coordination Center, a computer security organization based at Pittsburgh's Carnegie Mellon University, is that the Internet's fundamental data control mechanism known as TCP (transmission control protocol) was meant to improve reliability, not ensure security.
