I would like to know more about the networking standardards which are in vouge today. I came to know that we should choose the networking standard (either 802.11b or 802.11g) that can suit the speed that we get.

What are the factors that we have to keep in mind, when we choose the networking standard? What are the advantages or disadvantages of these standards?

I presume you are referring to wireless networking standards. These protocol types are classifed based on their throughput and rate of data transmission.

802.11g provides higher speeds than 802.11b. 802.11g is identical to 802.11a although the latter comes with higher throughput.
