please rephrasing the paragraph to avoid plagrism ASAP. The existence of standards and standards organizations help ensure that one network can communicate with another. Both Ethernet and token ring are network standards. Ethernet is the IEEE 802.3 standard and token ring is the IEEE 802.5 standard. The IEEE is one of the major standards organizations. The IEEE is a professional society with scientific, technical, and educational members active in over 150 countries. The 802 standards committee and Project 802 have developed the 802 networking standards in use today. Both Ethernet and token ring are part of the 802 standards. Ethernet is a particularly good choice for a network because there are many standards pertaining to Ethernet communications and many vendors who follow those standards throughout the world.
