what is a system protocol?
89567
A protocol is simply a set of standardized rules/procedures used by the computer to perform a task.  For example, you may have heard of the TCP/IP (transmission control protocol / internet protocol) which is a standard by which your computer accesses the internet.  Another common one is POP3 (post office protocol 3) which is I don't know a lot about except that it has to do with e-mail.

The implementation I have used is for computer to computer transfers when no other network is available.  \n\nI used this protocol to transfer files from an old computer being put out of commision to a new computer.  \n\nReally don't see much other use for it.  No permanant uses anyway, it's too unstable.  You have to have a crossover cable to be able to use this protocol.  Then you just plug one end to one computer's Network card and the other to the other, no routers or hubs needed.  Good for temporary use, not much else.

Hyptertext Transfer Protocol\n\nFor more info, check out\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP
507516
Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is the method used to transfer or convey information on the World Wide Web. It is a patented open internet protocol whose original purpose was to provide a way to publish and receive HTML pages.\n\nDevelopment of HTTP was coordinated by the World Wide Web Consortium and working groups of the Internet Engineering Task Force, culminating in the publication of a series of RFCs, most notably RFC 2616, which defines HTTP/1.1, the version of HTTP in common use today.\n\nHTTP is a request/response protocol between clients and servers. The originating client, such as a web browser, spider, or other end-user tool, is referred to as the user agent. The destination server, which stores or creates resources such as HTML files and images, is called the origin server. In between the user agent and origin server may be several intermediaries, such as proxies, gateways, and tunnels.\n\nAn HTTP client initiates a request by establishing a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) connection to a particular port on a remote host (port 80 by default; see a list of well-known ports). An HTTP server listening on that port waits for the client to send a Request Message.\n\nUpon receiving the request, the server sends back a status line, such as "HTTP/1.1 200 OK", and a message of its own, the body of which is perhaps the requested file, an error message, or some other information.\n\nResources to be accessed by HTTP are identified using Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs) (or, more specifically, URLs) using the http: or https URI schemes.

The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is a signalling protocol used for establishing sessions in an IP network. A session could be a simple two-way telephone call or it could be a collaborative multi-media conference session. The ability to establish these sessions means that a host of innovative services become possible, such as voice-enriched e-commerce, web page click-to-dial, Instant Messaging with buddy lists, and IP Centrex services\nSIP is a request-response protocol that closely resembles two other Internet protocols, HTTP and SMTP (the protocols that power the world wide web and email); consequently, SIP sits comfortably alongside Internet applications. Using SIP, telephony becomes another web application and integrates easily into other Internet services. SIP is a simple toolkit that service providers can use to build converged voice and multimedia services.\n\nIn order to provide telephony services there is a need for a number of different standards and protocols to come together - specifically to ensure transport (RTP), to authenticate users (RADIUS, DIAMETER), to provide directories (LDAP), to be able to guarantee voice quality (RSVP, YESSIR) and to inter-work with today's telephone network.

ummm, what protocol is it? MSN's? Yahoo's? Jabber's (the one that Google and several other uses)? or your own?\n\nFirst, study their protocols first then send packets of data etc according to the protocols. You can usually google the protocol specification.

the administrative distance of a protocol?\ndo you mean "who controls who uses routing protocols and who uses them"?\num, well.... lets see.. um.. noone and everyone.\nit's "controlled" (researched and invented) by companies such as cisco.\nno one controls it. it's basically, follow the protocols (hence the use of "protocol") or dont use the internet.

Remote Procedure Call (RPC) is a protocol that one program can use to request a service from a program located in another computer in a network without having to understand network details.

ARP - \n\nAddress Resolution Protocol. A TCP/IP protocol used to convert an IP address into a physical address, such as an Ethernet address. A host wishing to obtain a physical address broadcasts an ARP request onto the TCP/IP network. The host on the network that has the address in the request then replies with its physical hardware address. Precidia's products support ARP.\n\nUDP -\n\nUser Datagram Protocol. A communications protocol for the Internet network layer, transport layer, and session layer, which makes it possible to send a datagram message from one computer to an application running in another computer. Like TCP (Transmission Control Protocol), UDP is used with IP (the Internet Protocol). Unlike TCP, UDP is connectionless and does not guarantee reliable communication; the application itself must process any errors and check for reliable delivery

The physical means of communication between a person and a software program or operating system. At its most basic, this is the exchange of typed statements in English or a program-like set of commands.

On the Internet "protocol" usually refers to a set of rules that define an exact format for communication between systems. For example the HTTP protocol defines the format for communication between web browsers and web servers, the IMAP protocol defines the format for communication between IMAP email servers and clients, and the SSL protocol defines a format for encrypted communications over the Internet.\n\nThe difference between TCP and IP is that TCP is responsible for the data delivery of a packet and IP is responsible for the logical addressing. In other words, IP obtains the address and TCP guarantees delivery of data to that address.
