Protocol | Communication on the network is governed by sets of rules | |||
| called protocols. Protocols provide the guidelines devices use to | |||
| communicate with each other, and thus they have different | |||
| functions. Some protocols are responsible for formatting and | |||
| presenting and presenting data that will be transferred from file | |||
| server memory to the file server’s net work adapter Others are | |||
| responsible for filtering information between networks and | |||
| forwarding data to its destination. Still other protocols dictate how | |||
| data is transferred across the medium, and how servers respond | |||
| to workstation requests and vice versa. Common network | |||
| protocols responsible for the presentation and formatting of data | |||
| for a network operating system are the Internetwork Packet | |||
| Exchange (IPX) protocol or the Internet Protocol (IP). Protocols | |||
| that dictate the format of data for transferors the medium include | |||
| ||||
| Detection (CSMA/CD),implemented as | |||
| FDDI, or Ethernet. The Router Information Protocol (RIP),a part | |||
| of the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) | |||
| suite, forwards packets from one network to another using the | |||
| same network protocol. |
