IEEE Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. IEEE
(pronounced I-triple-E) is an organization composed of
engineers, scientists, and students. The IEEE is best known for
developing standards for the computer and electronics
industry. In particular, the IEEE 802 standards for local-area
networks are widely followed.
IEEE 802.1p A QoS method - A three-bit value that can be placed inside an

IEEE 802.1Q The IEEE 802.1Q standard defines the operation of VLAN
Bridges that permit the definition, operation and
administration of Virtual LAN topologies within a Bridged LAN
infrastructure. The 802.1Q specification establishes a
standard method for inserting VLAN membership information
into Ethernet frames. A tag field containing VLAN (and/or
802.1p priority) information can be inserted into an Ethernet
frame, carrying VLAN membership information.
IETF Internet Engineering Task Force. One of the task forces of the
IAB (Internet Architecture Board), formally called the Internet
Activities Board, which is the technical body that oversees the
development of the Internet suite of protocols (commonly
referred to as "TCP/IP").The IETF is responsible for solving
short-term engineering needs of the Internet.
IP Internet Protocol. The standard that defines how data is
transmitted over the Internet. IP bundles data, including
e-mail, faxes, voice calls and messages, and other types, into
