Paper Summary:
Network protocols are standards that permit computers to communicate. This paper explains how a protocol defines how computers recognize one another on a network, the form that the data should take during transfer, and how this information is processed once it reaches its target. It looks at two main concepts TCP and IP -TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is a connection-oriented protocol built on top of Internet Protocol (IP) and is nearly always seen in the grouping TCP/IP.
From the Paper:
"Generally speaking, TCP/IP is a software-based communications protocol used in networking. The name TCP/IP implies that the product is a combination of two protocols. However, the term TCP/IP is usually not a single entity, but a larger set of software programs that provide network services. These services include remote logins, remote file transfers, and electronic mail. TCP/IP provides a method for transferring information from one machine to another, and manages the routing and delivery of data, controls the actual transmission of data by the use of predetermined status signals, and handles errors in transmission (Hutchinson, 1999)."More papers on Network Protocols:
