What Are Network

Protocols?
Network protocols are a set of rules, conventions
data structures that dictate how devices exchang
across networks. In other words, network protoc
be equated to languages that two devices must
understand for seamless communication of
information, regardless of their infrastructure and
design differences.

3. User Datagram Protocol (UDP)
4. Post office Protocol (POP)
5. Simple mail transport Protocol (SMTP)
6. File Transfer Protocol (FTP)

It is the numeric identification of the upper layer


protocol that IP packet should be sent to. The
an
to an lIP
number is stored in the header that is prefixed
packet.Note that the IP protocol number is not the
same as the port number (see TCP/IP port), which
refers to a higher level, uch as the application layer.
Following are s o m e of the common IP protocol
