CCITT
ITU-T is the telecom standardization organization of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). It was previously known as CCITT, or Comité Consultatif International Téléphonique et Télégraphique (Consultative Committee for International Telegraphy and Telephony).
Series and Recommendations
ITU-T issues recommendations that have names like X.500, where X is the series and 500 is a serial number.

- V.1 Equivalence between binary notation symbols and the significant conditions of a two-condition code
- V.21 A full duplex comminications protocol allowing two analog modems to signal each other at 300 bit/s, also operating at 300 baud.
- V.22 A full duplex comminications protocol allowing two analog modems to signal each other at 1200 bit/s.
- V.22bis A full duplex comminications protocol allowing two analog modems to signal each other at 2400 bit/s.
- V.23 A half duplex comminications protocol allowing two analog modems to signal each other at 1200 bit/s.
- V.24 List of definitions for interchange circuits between data terminal equipment (DTE) and data circuit terminating equipment (DCE) - equivalent to EIA RS 232, defined in ISO 2110.
- V.25
- V.26
- V.26bis
- V.27
- V.27bis
- V.27ter A full duplex comminications protocol allowing two analog modems to signal each other at 4800 bit/s
- V.28
- V.29 A comminications protocol allowing two fax to signal each other at 9600 bit/s
- V.32 A family of 2-wire, duplex modems operating at data signalling rates of up to 9600 bit/s, full duplex for use on the general switched telephone network and on leased telephone-type circuits.
- V.32bis A duplex modem operating at data signalling rates of up to 14 400 bit/s for use on the general switched telephone network and on leased point-to-point 2-wire telephone-type circuits, with fallback to 12000 bits/s. This standard was improved on by modem manufacturers to create the V.terbo adhoc standard, signalling at 19,2 kb/s, as suggestive of a V.32ter standard that never materialized.
- V.34 is the ITU-T standard for full-duplex data communications up to 28,000 bit/s with fallback to lower speeds depending on the remote modem ant the conditions of the phone line. This standard was known informally as V.Fast, hence pre-standard modems called V.FC (V.FastClass).
- [[V.34+]] (aka V.34bis) A communications protocol for full-duplex datacommunications up to 33,6 kb/s between two analog modems on dial-up lines.
- V.42 Error correction protocol
- V.42bis Data compression procedures for data circuit terminating equipment (DCE) using error correction procedures to try to ensure the transfer of error-free data, even over the noisiest telephone lines. Ratified by CCITT in January 1990.
- V.44 Data compression protocol
- V.90 A digital modem and analogue modem pair for use on the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) at data signalling rates of up to 56 000 bit/s downstream and up to 33 600 bit/s upstream, using PCM encoding downstream, and QAM encoding upstream. V.90 Mode 2 used PCM upstream as well. This standard was known informally as V.Last and some pre-standard modems indicate V.Last compatibility or upgradeability. Prior to the arrival of the standard, there were two competing industry standards for 56 kb/s downstream signalling, X2 and K56flex. K56flex itself is a merged standard of K56 and 56flex.
- V.92 A digital modem and analog modem pair for use on POTS at data signalling rates of up to 56 kbit/s downstream and up to 48 kbit/s upstream, using PCM encoding both ways, supporting Modem-on-Hold technology. This is a development of V.90 Mode 2.
