List two advantages and two disadvantages of having international standards for network protocols?

Answer 1

Advantages: We have a standard to work on i.e we know that another person working on it wil follow what we do. Secondly as it becomes widely used, the effective usage increases...it becomes easy for people to make applications that use such protocols. Disadvantages: Often standards made tend to limit themselves in a way or the other. Once made it's difficut to change a standard when we have better methods found.

Answer 2

One advantage is that if everyone uses the standard, everyone can talk to everyone. Another advantage is that widespread use of any standard will give it economies of scale, as with VLSI chips. A disadvantage is that the political compromises necessary to achieve standardization frequently lead to poor standards. Another disadvantage is that once a standard has been widely adopted, it is difficult to change,, even if new and better techniques or methods are discovered. Also, by the time it has been accepted, it may be obsolete.
