What is the difference between 802.3 AF and 802.3 at?

The IEEE 802.3af (PoE) standard supports the delivery of power over Ethernet up to 15.4W per port that may be used to deliver power to a variety of devices. However, only 12.95W is assured to be available at the powered device as some power is dissipated in the cable as overhead.
The IEEE 802.3at (PoE+) standard supports up to 25.5W of power on the ports, allowing devices that require more than 15.4W to power on when connected to the PoE+ ports.
