DIFFERENT NETWORKING PROTOCOLS AND THEIR USES
Introduction Networking protocols are the rules and standards that govern how devices communicate and exchange data over a network. They define the format, structure, timing, and error handling of the messages that are sent and received between different devices. Without networking protocols, there would be no way for devices to understand each other and cooperate in a network. There are many types of networking protocols that serve different purposes and functions. They can be broadly classified into three categories: communication protocols, management protocols, and security protocols. Communication Protocols Communication protocols are the most basic and essential types of networking protocols. They enable data transmission and delivery between devices over a network. They handle the syntax, semantics, error detection, synchronization, and authentication of the messages. Some of the common communication protocols are: - Transmission Control Protocol (TCP): TCP is a relia...
