PROJEC:- DIFFERENT TYPES OF PROTOCOLS…

ARNECT……
ARCNET was developed by principal development engineer John Murphy at Data
point Corporation in 1976 and announced in 1977.[1] It was the first loosely-coupled LAN-
based clustering solution, making no assumptions about the type of computers that would be
connected. This was in contrast to contemporary larger and more expensive computer systems
such as DEC net or SNA, where a homogeneous group of similar or proprietary computers
were connected as a cluster.

THE CISSO DISCOVERY….

The Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) is a proprietary Data Link Layer network

protocol developed by Cisco Systems that is implemented in most Cisco networking equipment.
It is used to share information about other directly connected Cisco equipment, such as
the operating system version and IP address. CDP can also be used for On-Demand Routing,
which is a method of including routing information in CDP announcements so that
dynamic routing protocols do not need to be used in simple networks.

THE DYNAMIC TRUNKING

The Dynamic Trunking Protocol (DTP) is a proprietary networking protocol developed by Cisco

Systems for the purpose of negotiating trunking on a link between two VLAN-aware switches,
and for negotiating the type of trunking encapsulation to be used. It works on the Layer 2 of
the OSI model. VLAN trunks formed using DTP may utilize either IEEE 802.1Q or Cisco
ISL trunking protocols.
DTP should not be confused with VTP, as they serve different purposes. VTP communicates
VLAN existence information between switches. DTP aids with trunk port establishment.
Neither protocol transmits the data frames that trunks carry.

ECONET

Econet was Acorn's low-cost local area network system, intended for use by schools and small
businesses. Econet is rumoured to be an abbreviation of Economy Network, but Acorn were
always careful to stress the Greek root, oikos, meaning "house" Econet was first introduced
for use with the Acorn Atom and Acorn System 2/3/4 computers in 1981. It became popular
as a networking system for the BBC Micro and Archimedes computers. The Econet system was
eventually supported on all post-Atom Acorn machines except the Electron, the A3010 and
the eventually-cancelled Phoebe 2100. The system was supported by Acorn MOS, RISC
OS and RISC iX.

FRAME REPLAY

Frame Relay is a standardized wide area networking technology that specifies the physical and
logical link layers of digital telecommunications channels using a packet switching methodology.
Originally designed for transport across Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN)
infrastructure, it may be used today in the context of many other network interfaces.
Network providers commonly implement Frame Relay for voice (Vo FR) and data as
an encapsulation technique, used between local area networks (LANs) over a wide area
network(WAN). Each end-user gets a private line (or leased line) to a frame-relay node. The
frame-relay network handles the transmission over a frequently-changing path transparent to
all end-users.
