Protocols

1. HTTP

   • Web pages are sent and received using this protocol.

2. HTTPS

   • This protocol works like http, but also encrypts web page data before it is sent out of the browser or server, to make sure that nobody can intercept the data and read it themselves.

3. FTP

   • It is the standard network protocol used to upload and download files between a client and server on a computer network.

4. TCP

   • This protocol prepares messages for transmission and reassembles any received messages.

5. IP

   • When transmitting messages, this protocol is responsible for providing the destination address and to recognise incoming data packets.

6. Ethernet

   • Ethernet is a family of protocols responsible for sending and receiving data along a network cable.

7. Bluetooth

   • This is a wireless protocol that was developed to allow devices that are very close to one another to exchange data. It works up to 10 metres, but most often the devices are within a metre of each other.
