PROTOCOL

                  Protocol is a set of rules that govern the communication between the computers on a network.
                  Certain network protocols and standards must be followed in order to ensure that your computer
                  can communicate with another computer over a network.

                  Different types of protocols used for different operations on the Internet are:
                     Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP): Transfers web pages and content between servers and
                     clients. It’s the foundation of data communication on the web.

                     Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS): Encrypts data transferred between clients
                     and servers for security. Most websites use it to protect against unauthorised access.
                     File Transfer Protocol (FTP): Facilitates the uploading and downloading of files between
                     computers over the Internet. It operates on a client-server model.
                     Transmission Control  Protocol/Internet  Protocol  (TCP/IP): Manages  data  transmission
                     and routing over networks, ensuring reliable communication between devices.
                     Post Office Protocol Version 3 (POP3): Allows email clients to download messages from a
                     server to a local device, usually removing them from the server.
                     Internet Message Access Protocol  (IMAP): Allows  email  clients  to access  and manage
                     emails on a server, synchronising across multiple devices.

                     Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP): Sends email messages from clients to servers or
                     between servers; handles outgoing email communication.





                        A computer network is a group of interconnected computer systems and other computing
                       devices.
                        A server is a computer that manages and shares resources like files and programs with
                       other computers (called clients) on the network.
                        A router is a network device that connects two or more networks and manages the flow
                       of data between them.
                        Networking  cables are physical cables used to connect and transmit data  between
                       devices in a network.
                        Bandwidth  is the  maximum rate  at  which  data  can  be  transmitted  over  a  network
                       connection or communication channel.
                        The layout or arrangement of computers or nodes in a network is referred to as topology.
                        The network architecture defines the overall design of the computer network.
                        Protocol is a set of rules that govern the communication between the computers on a
                       network.
