The first lesson that we tackled in second quarter in Kumsay (Computer Science) is all about Network Protocols. So, what are protocols?
According to Sir Tom, Protocols are set of rules that governs the communication between computers on a network.These rules include guidelines that controls the characteristics of a network like access method, allowed physical topologies, types of cabling, and speed of data transfer.
There are many types of protocols, here are some that we discussed in our class.
Internet Protocol (IP) - primary network protocol used in the internet.
Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) - connection-oriented network protocol.
User Datagram Protocol (UDP) - connectionless-oriented network protocol.
File Transfer Protocol (FTP) - transfers file from one host to another host over TCP-based network.
Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) - internet standard for electronic mail (e-mail) transmission across IP networks.
Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) - foundation of data communication for the World Wide Web (www).
Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) - resolves IP addresses into user-friendly names.
Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP)
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) - dynamically assign IP addresses to network nodes.
Well, that's all I know... for know. But if you want to know more, you can always ask my teacher or search in the internet.
Bye! and remember, THEY'RE WATCHING YOU. HAHA.
