Protocols

The document outlines various network protocols that establish rules for data communication between computer devices. Key protocols include TCP for packet transmission, IP for addressing, UDP for low-latency communication, and others like POP, SMTP, FTP, HTTP, HTTPS, Telnet, and Gopher for specific functions such as email handling, file transfer, and secure web communication. Each protocol serves a distinct purpose in ensuring effective and secure data exchange across networks.

A network protocol is a set of established rules that dictate how to

format, transmit and receive data so that computer network devices --


from servers and routers to endpoints -- can communicate, regardless
of the differences in their underlying infrastructures, designs or
standards.

1. Transmission Control Protocol (TCP): TCP is a popular communication


protocol which is used for communicating over a network. It divides any
message into series of packets that are sent from source to destination and
there it gets reassembled at the destination.
2. Internet Protocol (IP): IP is designed explicitly as addressing protocol. It is
mostly used with TCP. The IP addresses in packets help in routing them
through different nodes in a network until it reaches the destination system.
TCP/IP is the most popular protocol connecting the networks.
3. User Datagram Protocol (UDP): UDP is a substitute communication protocol to
Transmission Control Protocol implemented primarily for creating loss-tolerating
and low-latency linking between different applications.
4. Post office Protocol (POP): POP3 is designed for receiving incoming E-mails.
5. Simple mail transport Protocol (SMTP): SMTP is designed to send and
distribute outgoing E-Mail.
6. File Transfer Protocol (FTP): FTP allows users to transfer files from one
machine to another. Types of files may include program files, multimedia files,
text files, and documents, etc.
7. Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP): HTTP is designed for transferring a
hypertext among two or more systems. HTML tags are used for creating links.
These links may be in any form like text or images. HTTP is designed on Client-
server principles which allow a client system for establishing a connection with
the server machine for making a request. The server acknowledges the request
initiated by the client and responds accordingly.
8. Hyper Text Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS): HTTPS is abbreviated as
Hyper Text Transfer Protocol Secure is a standard protocol to secure the
communication among two computers one using the browser and other fetching
data from web server. HTTP is used for transferring data between the client
browser (request) and the web server (response) in the hypertext format, same
in case of HTTPS except that the transferring of data is done in an encrypted
format. So it can be said that https thwart hackers from interpretation or
modification of data throughout the transfer of packets.
9. Telnet: Telnet is a set of rules designed for connecting one system with another.
The connecting process here is termed as remote login. The system which
requests for connection is the local computer, and the system which accepts
the connection is the remote computer.
10. Gopher: Gopher is a collection of rules implemented for searching, retrieving
as well as displaying documents from isolated sites. Gopher also works on the
client/server principle.
