Introduction
computers use network protocols to
communicate in computer networks.
There are many network protocols in
existence; TCP/IP is a family of network
protocols that are used for the Internet.
A network protocol is a standard
written down on a piece of paper (or,
more precisely, with a text editor in a
computer). The standards that are used
for the Internet are called Requests For
Comment (RFC).
History
The Internet base protocols and systems
were mainly devised in the 1970s and
1980s.
TCP/IP describes a protocol which will work
on any sort of computer and operating
system for transportation of data across
the internet between different systems
TCP/IP has proven to be remarkably
robust, but is very basic.
What are network
protocols
The word protocol comes from the
Greek protocollon, meaning a leaf of paper glued
to a manuscript volume that describes the
contents.
Network Protocol is a set of rules that governs the
communications between computers on a
network. Network protocols are formal standards
and policies comprised of rules, procedures and
formats that define communication between two
or more devices over a network.
Network protocols govern the end-to-end
processes of timely, secure and managed data or
network communication.
Requirements of protocols
Data formats for data exchange

Loss of information

Decides on:
How to announce sent data
How to announce receive data
How to address data
How data is to be sent
Need of protocols
Protocols are needed for predetermined
understandings for communications
It helps the smooth functioning of a
system,such contribution to a system
may benefit or offend you from where
you stand
Types of protocol
TCP : Transmission Control Protocol
HTTP : Hypertext Transfer Protocol
FTP : File Transfer Protocol
SMTP: Simple Mail Transfer Protocol
UDP : User Datagram Protocol
ICMP : Internet Control Message Protocol
SCTP : Stream Control Transmission
Protocol
ARP : Address Resolution Protocol
TCP/IP Protocol
TCP/IP:
TCP/IP is a set of rules (protocols) governing
communications among all computers on the Internet.
TCP/IP was developed in 1978 and driven by Bob Kahn
and Vint Cerf.
TCP/IP is a combination of two separate protocols:
Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and Internet
Protocol (IP).
The Transmission Control Protocol is responsible for
ensuring the reliable transmission of data across
Internet-connected networks.
TCP checks packets for errors and submits requests for
re-transmissions if any are found.
HTTP Protocol
HTTP:
The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is
an application protocol for distributed,
collaborative, hypermedia information
[Link] is the foundation of data
communication for the World Wide Web.
Development of HTTP was initiated by
Tim Berners-Lee at CERN in 1989
HTTP is an application layer protocol designed
within the framework of the
Internet protocol suite.
FTP Protocol
FTP:
File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a standard
Internet protocol for transmitting files
between computers on the Internet over
TCP/IP connections.
FTP is a client-server protocol that relies
on two communications channels between
client and server: a command channel for
controlling the conversation and a data
channel for transmitting file content.
SMTP:
Simple Mail Transfer Protocol is used to
transport mail. Simple Mail Transport Protocol
is used on the internet, it is not a transport
layer protocol but is an application layer
protocol.
UDP:
- An unreliable connection less protocol used
to control the management of application level
services between computers. It is used for
transport by some applications which must
provide their own reliability.
ICMP:
Internet control message protocol provides
management and error reporting to help
manage the process of sending data
between computers. (Management).
ARP:
Address Resolution Protocol enables the
packaging of IP data into ethernet packages.
It is the system and messaging protocol that
is used to find the ethernet (hardware)
address from a specific IP number
POP:
POP stands for Post Office Protocol. It is
generally used to support a single client.
There are several versions of POP but the
POP 3 is the current standard.
POP is an application layer internet
standard protocol.
POP does not allow search facility.
It is not suitable for accessing non mail
data.
Benefits of network
protocols
Some important benefits are;
They provide the path to increase the
network connections
Enhance the speed of the connection,
Enhance the data transmission rate and
provide easy working to the users
CONCLUSION
Computer Networks and Protocols have
forever changed the way humans will
work, play, and communicate.
New protocols and standards will emerge,
new applications will be conceived, and
our lives will be further changed and
enhanced.
