COMMUNICATION SOFTWARE

Application or programs that are designed for


the transfer or sharing of information from one
node to another in a communication system.
Types of Communication
Software
 E-mail. E.g :yahoo mail, MS Outlook
 Video Chat: Skype ,WhatsApp, iChat, yahoo
messenger.
 Web conferencing: Zoom, Google Team
Benefits of communication
Software
 Remote Work.
 Productivity.
 Integration.
 Capture information.
 Reduce expense
Communication Protocol

 Rules that communication devices follows to


communicate each other.
 Protocol defines the rules, syntax, semantics
and synchronization of communication and
possible error detection and recovery
methods.
Types of Protocol
 Transmission control protocol/internet
protocol(TCP/IP): this is made up of a collection
such as TCP,IP,UDP,ARP and others. It is the most
commonly used protocol of all system.
 File Transfer Protocol (FTP): protocol for sharing
files between networked nodes. It enables user to log
to remote nodes and inspect and manipulate files.
 Simple Mail Transfer Protocol(SMTP): Protocol
for routing mail through internetworks
 Internet Protocol(IP): belongs to network layer, its
for addressing and routing data on the Internet. It
provides information about where and how data
should be delivered.
Types of Protocol
 Internet Control Message Protocol(ICMP):
enhances the error control provided by IP since IP is
connection less protocol. Reports success or failure
of data delivery.
 Transmission Control Protocol (TCP): an
internetwork protocol associated with Transport
layer of OSI. Provides full duplex end to end
connection. Maintains a logical connection between
sender and receiving systems. Ensures reliable data
delivery.
Types of Protocol
 User Datagram protocol(UDP): a connectionless
Transport layer protocol. UDP does not provide message
acknowledgement. Its a TCP/IP protocol
 Hypertext Transfer Protocol(HTTP)
 HTTPS
 Domain Name System(DNS): provides name address
resolution as a service to client. DNS servers enable
humans to use logical node names to access network
resources.
 TELNET: is a network protocol used to virtually access a
computer and to provide a two-way, collaborative and
text-based communication channel between two devices.
ASSIGNMENT

 Briefly differentiate between connectionless and


connection oriented protocol
