As an example of domain of use, connection-oriented protocols and connectionless protocols are used on connection-oriented networks and connectionless networks respectively. An example of function is a tunneling protocol , which is used to encapsulate packets in a high-level protocol so that the packets can be passed across a transport system ...
Protocol (object-oriented programming), a common means for unrelated objects to communicate with each other (sometimes also called interfaces) Communication protocol, a defined set of rules and regulations that determine how data is transmitted in telecommunications and computer networking Cryptographic protocol, a protocol for encrypting messages
The use of SACK has become widespread—all popular TCP stacks support it. Selective acknowledgment is also used in Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP). Selective acknowledgements can be 'reneged', where the receiver unilaterally discards the selectively acknowledged data.
This remains the dominant internetworking protocol in use in the Internet Layer; the number 4 identifies the protocol version, carried in every IP datagram. IPv4 is defined in RFC 791 (1981). Version number 5 was used by the Internet Stream Protocol, an experimental streaming protocol that was not adopted. [7] The successor to IPv4 is IPv6.
Transport Layer Security (TLS) is a cryptographic protocol designed to provide communications security over a computer network, such as the Internet.The protocol is widely used in applications such as email, instant messaging, and voice over IP, but its use in securing HTTPS remains the most publicly visible.
Protocols are used mainly by Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) servers to validate the identity of remote clients before granting them access to server data. Most of them use a password as the cornerstone of the authentication. In most cases, the password has to be shared between the communicating entities in advance. [5] PAP 2-way handshake scheme
The Internet protocol suite, commonly known as TCP/IP, is a framework for organizing the set of communication protocols used in the Internet and similar computer networks according to functional criteria. The foundational protocols in the suite are the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), the User Datagram Protocol (UDP), and the Internet ...
Routing Information Protocol Internet Layer RFC 2453, for RIP version 2 RLL: Run-Length Limited Physical layer RLL is used in a wide range of encodings.
