In computer networks, communication
occurs between entities in different
systems
The analogy

Regepkeun ku

I used Sundanese, they only know Mandarin

They wont understand
 Please listen!

We agree to use English, they understand

To use English we have to use proper grammar
(rules in English)
Technically Speaking

Set of rules that governs communication

Protocol
So.. how can they talk each others
They can talk because they use TCP/IP protocol in talking
The key elements of a protocol
Syntax
Semantics
Timing

A protocol defines what is communicated,

how it is communicated, and when it is co
mmunicated
Syntax refers to the structure or format of the data, meaning the order in which t
hey are presented

Semantics refers to the meaning of each section of bits

Timing refers to two characteristics: when data should be sent and how fast it
can be sent
Standards
 Standards Organizations
Standards Creation Committees
Forum

To accommodate the need for workin

g models and agreements and to faci
litate the standardization process, ma
ny special-interest groups have devel
oped forums made up of representati
ves from interested corporations
Regulatory Agencies

Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) and Internet Corporation for
Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN)
IANA, supported by the U.S. government, was responsible for the mana
gement of Internet domain names and addresses until October 1998
ICANN, a private nonprofit corporation managed by an international bo
ard, assumed IANA operations
