  2. Comparison of file transfer protocols - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_file...

    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.

  3. Data communication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_communication

    In a few books within the computer networking tradition, analog transmission also refers to passband transmission of bit-streams using digital modulation methods such as FSK, PSK and ASK. Note that these methods are covered in textbooks named digital transmission or data transmission, for example. [1]

  4. Signal transmission - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal_transmission

    In telecommunications, transmission (sometimes abbreviated as "TX") is the process of sending or propagating an analog or digital signal via a medium that is wired, wireless, or fiber-optic. [ 1 ] [ 2 ]

  5. Computer network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_network

    An internetwork is the connection of multiple different types of computer networks to form a single computer network using higher-layer network protocols and connecting them together using routers. The Internet is the largest example of internetwork. It is a global system of interconnected governmental, academic, corporate, public, and private ...

  6. Transport layer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_layer

    The details of implementation and semantics of the transport layer of the Internet protocol suite, [1] which is the foundation of the Internet, and the OSI model of general networking are different. The protocols in use today in this layer for the Internet all originated in the development of TCP/IP.

  7. Communication protocol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communication_protocol

    Transmission is not necessarily reliable, and individual systems may use different hardware or operating systems. To implement a networking protocol, the protocol software modules are interfaced with a framework implemented on the machine's operating system. This framework implements the networking functionality of the operating system. [29]

  8. Packet switching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Packet_switching

    In telecommunications, packet switching is a method of grouping data into short messages in fixed format, i.e. packets, that are transmitted over a digital network.Packets are made of a header and a payload.

  9. File Transfer Protocol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_Transfer_Protocol

    While transferring data over the network, five data types are defined: [2] [3] [8] ASCII (TYPE A): Used for text. Data is converted, if needed, from the sending host's character representation to "8-bit ASCII" before transmission, and (again, if necessary) to the receiving host's character representation, including newlines. As a consequence ...
