You want to connect different computers, at different locations, so that they can exchange data with each other. What are the different challenges that you need to overcome?
Host Identification on small networks isn’t a problem as it can be set up with manual ways of addressing, but will be exponentially harder the larger a network becomes. Protocols, DHCP servers and addressing are a huge need if you want to create and sustain a large, expanding network.
A standard specifies a protocol. Protocols are needed so both communicating entities can understand each other and this can be time consuming process. By the time the standards are defined and published, another non-standard technology may have
