What is protocol:-
· A protocol is a set of rules that regulate
communication.
· Communication between two people or two
devices needs to follow some rules.it defines how to start communication,
continue the communication & end the communication.
· As in the telephonic communication these
rules define that how one can respond the call, continue the call in a fair
manner (using proper greeting language), & how to hanging up the call.
·Similarly, in a network for sending &
receiving the information between two
different system needs some protocols.
NOTE:- in OSI layer each layer has a protocol. But physical layer (first layer)has no protocol because in it data is the binary form.
