Abstract

One useful benefit of the growth of the Internet is the matching growth in common or so-called ‘open’ standards. Just as reliable computer communications are a relatively new development, so are open standards. Although such standards had been available for some time, proprietary standards owned and developed by private corporations used to dominate the computer business, and even today are still in use. But the attractions of open standards in simplifying and reducing the cost of computing and computer communications have been so overwhelming that open standards now dominate. In this chapter, we shall take a more detailed look at some open standards in the TCP/IP suite and how they work — because of their importance in e-Business.
