COMPUTER NETWORK | PRIVATE STUDY | PROTOCOLS IN TOPIC 2

LAYER 7: APPLICATION LAYER

PROTOCOL	OVERVIEW
DHCP	Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol - a protocol that automatically provides an IP host with its IP address and other related configuration information.
FTP	File Transfer Protocol - protocol used for exchanging files over the internet.
SMTP	Simple Mail Transfer Protocol. It is used when email is delivered from an email client to an email server or when email is delivered from one email server to another
POP3	Post Office Protocol - allows an email client to download an email from an email server.
IMAP	Internet Message Access Protocol - is is a protocol that an email client can use to download email from an email server
HTTP	Hypertext Transfer Protocol - is an application protocol for distribution.

LAYER 6: PRESENTATION LAYER

PROTOCOL	OVERVIEW
AFP	Apple Filing Protocol - the protocol for communicating with AppleShare file servers.
SMB	Server Message Block - it is a network file sharing protocol.
NCP	Network Control Protocol - allowed users to access and use computers and devices at remote locations and to transmit files between computers
SSL MIME	Multi-Purpose Mail Extensions - is the extension of the original Internet E-mail protocol

LAYER 5: SESSION LAYER

PROTOCOL	DESCRIPTION
ASP	A Simple Protocol - it demonstrates the infrastructure which has to be in place to implement even the simplest protocol.
NetBIOS	Network Basic Input/Output System - provides the session and transport services describes in th OSI model.

LAYER 4: TRANSPORT LAYER

PROTOCOL	OVERVIEW
TCP	Transmission Control Protocol - a standard that defines how to establish and maintain a network conversation via which application programs can exchange data.
UDP	User Datagram Protocol - an alternative communications protocol to TCP. used primarily for establishing low-latency and loss tolerating connections between applications on the Internet.
NetBUI	NetBios User Interface -
SPX	Sequenced Packet Exchange - handles packet sequencing. it prepares the sequence of packets that a message is divided into and manage the reassembly of received packets
ATP	Autonomous Transport Protocol - maintain a reliable transport connection between two endpoints

LAYER 3: NETWORK LAYER

PROTOCOL	OVERVIEW
IP	Internet Protocol - set of rules that govern how packets are transmitted over a network.
OSPF	Open Shortest Path First - a router protocol used to find the best path for packets as they pass through as set of connected networks.
BGP	Border Gateway Protocol - manages how packets are routed acros the internet through the exchange of routing and reachability information between edge routers.
NetBEUI	NetBIOS Extended User Interface - the program that lets computers communicate within a local area network.
DDP	Distributed Data Protocol - a client server protocol for querying and updating a server-side databse and for synchronizing such updates among clients.

LAYER 2: DATA LINK LAYER

PROTOCOL	OVERVIEW
Ethernet	A link layer protocol in the TCP/IP stack, describing how networked devices can format data for transmission to other network devices ont the same segment, and how to put that data out on the network connection
Token Ring	Is a LAN Network in which all computers are connected in a ring or star topology and pass one or more logical tokens from host to host.
FDDI	Fiber Distributed Data Interface - a set of ANSI and ISO standards for data transmission on fiber optic lines in a local area network
IEEE 802.11	is a set of (MAC). specifications fro implementing wireless local area network.
ATM	Asynchronus Transfer Mode - a switching technique used by telecommunication networks that used asynchronus time-division multiplexing to encode small, fixed-sized cells.
PPP	Point-to-Point Protocol - commonly used for Internet connections over dial-up lines, It is a more robust protocol that can transport not only IP, but also other types of packets.
HDLC	High-Level Data Link Control - provides both a best-effort unreliable and reliable service. It is used with various serial interface protocols defined in physical layer.
