2.
Network protocol
Set of rules that determine how data is transmitted between different devices
in the same network
Allows connected devices to communicate with each other, regardless of any

Define the methods and mechanisms necessary to achieve reliable
communication between two devices
Network protocols define methods with which data units are encoded for
transmission and methods for regulating the flow of information between
