                 PROTOCOL


                 A protocol is a set of rules that governs the communication between the computers on a network. To
                 ensure that your computer can communicate with another computer over a network, you must adhere
                 to certain network protocols and standards. The following types of protocols are used for different
                 operations on the Internet:
                     HTTP - Hyper Text Transfer Protocol: It is a set of rules that defines how the Web pages transfer
                   information like documents, files, images, and videos between computers over the Internet.

                     HTTPS  -  Hyper  Text  Transfer Protocol Secure:  It  is  a  secure  version  of  HTTP. We  convert  the
                   information into code to prevent unauthorised access. Nowadays, most of the websites use the
                   HTTPS protocol instead of HTTP.

                     FTP - File Transfer Protocol: It is a set of rules that allows file uploading and downloading from the
                   other computers over the Internet.
                     TCP/IP - Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol: It is a network protocol that defines
                   how the information or messages are routed from one end of a network to the other.

                     POP3 - Post Office Protocol Version 3: It is an Internet standard protocol that allows e-mail clients
                   to retrieve e-mail messages from an e-mail server.

                     IMAP - Internet Message Access Protocol: It is an e-mail protocol that stores e-mail messages on
                   a mail server and allows the user to view, access and manipulate the messages on the mail server
                   from their computer.
                     SMTP - Simple Mail Transfer Protocol: It is an e-mail protocol for sending e-mail messages across
                   the Internet.
