Protocols

In this quarter,we also learned about the different regulations in inter networking. 

A protocol is a set of rules that governs the communications between computers on a network. These rules include guidelines that regulate the following characteristics of a network: access method, allowed physical topologies, types of cabling, and speed of data transfer.

There are different protocols. The following are some of them.

Internet Protocol is the primary network protocol used on the Internet, On the Internet and many other networks, IP is often used together with the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and referred to interchangeably as TCP/IP.

Transmission Control Protocol-  is connection-oriented network protocol used by major Internet applications such as the World Wide Web, email, remote administration and file 
transfer.

User Datagram Protocol- is a connectionless-oriented network protocol that allows computer applications to send messages, in this case referred to as datagrams, to other hosts on an Internet Protocol (IP) network.

Thanks to these protocols, we are having an organized and proper internet.
