A standard method or format for communication between network devices. Ensures that data are transferred whole, in sequence, and without error from one node on the network to another.
|
Protocol
|
An Application layer protocol that formulates and interprets requests between Web clients and servers
|
HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol)
|
A core protocol in the TCP/IP suite that operates in the Network layer of the OSI model and provides information about how and where data should be delivered. It is the subprotocol that enables TCP/IP to internetwork
|
IP (Internet Protocol)
|
A core protocol in the TCP/IP suite that belongs to the Network layer of the OSI model. It obtains the MAC (physical) address of a host, or node, and then creates a local database that maps the MAC address to the host's IP (logical) address.
|
ARP (Address Resolution Protocol)
|
An Application layer protocol in the TCP/IP suite that uses a central list of IP addresses, and their associated devices' MAC addresses to assign IP addresses to clients dynamically. It was the precursor to DHCP.
|
BOOTP (Bootstrap Protocol)
|
An Application layer protocol in the TCP/IP suite that manages the dynamic distribution of IP adresses on a network. Using this protocol to assign IP addresses can nearly eliminate duplicate-addressing problems
|
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
|
An Application layer protocol used to send and receive files via TCP/IP
|
FTP (File Transfer Protocol)
|
A core protocol in the TCP/IP suite that notifies the sender that something has gone wrong in the transmission process and that packets were not delivered
|
ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol)
|
A TCP/IP protocol used to manage multicast transmissions. Routers use this protocol to determine which nodes belong to a multicast group, and nodes use this protocol to join or leave a multicast group
|
IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol or Internet Group Multicast Protocol)
|
An Application layer protocol in the TCP/IP suite that facilitatesthe exchange of newsgroup messages, or articles, between multiple servers and users
|
NNTP (Network News Transfer Protocol or Network News Transport Protocol)
|
A simple Application layer protocol in the TCP/IP suite used to synchronize the clocks of computers on a network. This protocol depends on UDP for Transport layer services
|
NTP (Network Time Protocol)
|
A core protocol in the TCP/IP suite that belongs in the Network layer of the OSI model. This protocol relies on a database table to associate the IP (logical) address of a node with its MAC (physical) address. It can be used to supply IP addresses to diskless workstations.
|
RARP (Reverse Address Resolution Protocol)
|
A core protocol of the TCP/IP suite. It belongs to the Transport layer and provides reliable data delivery services
|
TCP (Transmission Control Protocol)
|
A suite of networking protocols that includes TCP, IP, UDP and many others. It provides the foundation for data exchange across the Internet.
|
TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol)
|
A terminal emulation protocol used to log on to remote hosts using the TCP/IP protocol. This protocol resides in the Application layer of the OSI model.
