The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers is responsible for standards in which two areas? (Choose two.)

  • Ethernet media access control
  • wireless LANs
  • IP address allocation and management
  • the OSI reference model
  • TCP/IP technologies
  • peer-to-peer application compliance

Explanation: Among the many standards for which the IEEE is responsible, the two major standards are IEEE 802.3 and IEEE 802.11. The IEEE 802.3 standard defines media access control (MAC) for wired Ethernet. The 802.11 standard defines a group of standards for implementing wireless local area networks (WLANs). The other options are standards that are developed and maintained by other standards organizations.
