This article lists protocols, categorized by the nearest layer in the Open Systems Interconnection model.This list is not exclusive to only the OSI protocol family.Many of these protocols are originally based on the Internet Protocol Suite (TCP/IP) and other models and they often do not fit neatly into OSI layers.
A packet-switched network transmits data that is divided into units called packets.A packet comprises a header (which describes the packet) and a payload (the data). The Internet is a packet-switched network, and most of the protocols in this list are designed for its protocol stack, the IP protocol suite.

Connection-oriented Presentation protocol – ITU-T Rec. X.226 [ISO/IEC 8823-1] Connectionless Presentation protocol – ITU-T Rec. X.236 [ISO/IEC 9576-1] This layer defines and encrypts/decrypts data types from the application layer. Protocols such as MIDI, MPEG, and GIF are presentation layer formats shared by different applications.
IEEE 802.1 is a working group of the IEEE 802 project of the IEEE Standards Association.. It is concerned with: [1] 802 LAN/MAN architecture; internetworking among 802 LANs, MANs and wide area networks
The Internet Protocol (IP) is the network layer communications protocol in the Internet protocol suite for relaying datagrams across network boundaries. Its routing function enables internetworking , and essentially establishes the Internet .
This category is for general information on network protocols. It is not to be confused with the Category:Network layer protocols , which is for articles on protocols fitting into the Internet protocol suite network layer.
The Frame Relay network handles the transmission over a frequently changing path transparent to all end-user extensively used WAN protocols. It is less expensive than leased lines and that is one reason for its popularity. The extreme simplicity of configuring user equipment in a Frame Relay network offers another reason for Frame Relay's ...
