Answer» COMPUTER NETWORKA computer network, also referred to as a data network, is a series of interconnected nodes that can transmit, receive and exchange data, voice and video traffic. Network devices use a variety of protocols and algorithms to specify exactly how endpoints should transmit and receive data. For example, the Ethernet standard establishes a common language for wired networks to communicate, and the 802.11 standard does the same for wireless local area networks (WLANs). INTERNETInternet is a global system of interconnected computer networks that use the standard Internet protocol suite (OFTEN called TCP/IP, although not all protocols use TCP) to serve billions of users worldwide. It is a network of networks that consists of millions of private, public, academic, business, and government networks, of local to global scope, that are linked by a BROAD array of electronic, wireless and optical networking technologies. The Internet carries an extensive range of information resources and services, such as the inter-linked hypertext documents of the World Wide Web (WWW) and the infrastructure to support email. PROTOCOLSometimes referred to as an access method, a protocol is a standard used to define a method of exchanging data over a computer network, such as local area network, Internet, Intranet, etc. Each protocol has its own method of how data is formatted when sent and what to do with it once received, how that data is compressed, or how to check for errors in the data.Protocol can also be told as "set of rules IMPLEMENT to protect the network" protocols is used by the internetFTP - File Transfer Protocol HTTP - Hyper Text Transfer Protocol HTTPS - Hyper Text Transfer Protocol Secure TCP/IP - Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol ARP - Address Resolution Protocol DHCP - Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol DNS - DOMAIN Name System ICMP - Internet Control Message Protocol TFTP - Trivial File Transfer Protocol UDP - User Datagram Protocol SMTP - Simple Mail Transfer Protocol RTP - Real-time Transport Protocol VoIP - Voice over Internet Protocol NTP - Network Time Protocol IGMP - Internet Group Management Protocol IMAP4 - Internet Message Access Protocol version 4 |
