Standards and

protocols
DEFINITIONS
Standards and protocols are technical rules
and conventions that enable compatibility
and therefore facilitate communication or
interoperability between different IT systems
and their components. They might govern
the design and use of hardware, software,
and information.
At the technical and developmental level, the Internet is made
possible through creation, testing and implementation of
Internet Standards. These standards are developed by the
Internet Engineering Task Force. The standards are then
considered by the Internet Engineering Steering Group, with
appeal to the Internet Architecture Board, and promulgated by
the Internet Society as international standards. The RFC Editor
is responsible for preparing and organizing the standards in
their final form. The standards may be found at numerous sites
distributed throughout the world, such as the Internet
Engineering Task Force.

PROTOCOLS
One of the two most important protocols (written together as
TCP/IP) that make internet possible. IP divides flow of data into
packets (each carrying up to 65,535 eight-bit bytes) and
attaches a header containing forwarding address for its correct
transmission to the intended receiver. Each computer has at
least one IP (internet protocol) address. IP is like a language that
computers use to communicate over the internet.
The Common Types of Protocol:
Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP)
File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP)
User Diagram Protocol (UDP)
Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)
Post Office Protocol (POP3)
