A definition of the word “standard”, as found in the Merriam-Webster OnLine Dictionary, is “something established by authority, custom, or general consent as a model or example.” Conversely, the word “proprietary”, according to the same Merriam-Webster OnLine Dictionary, means “something that is used, produced, or marketed under exclusive legal right of the inventor or maker.” These definitions also apply to the world of network technology.
