Network Infrastructure – Network Protocols

Protocols are pre-defined designations of how communication will take place between computers on a network.  Protocols are implementented at various levels or "layers" of your network.  At the communications layer of your network, protocols such as TCP/IP provide the set of rules that computers must abide by in order to start, continue, and stop communications.  At the application layer protocols serve as a command, defining the functions of a given service. The most well-know protocol is the HTTP protocol, that essentially commands that the Internet server gets or retrieves the URL that follows it.  Other protocols that we can help you work with are listed below.
