NETWORK

PROTOCOLS
LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Define the term network protocol.

Explain the purpose of common network protocols.

Explain the use of common network protocols.


A network consists of two or more connected devices
that communicate with each other.

To communicate, these devices use protocols.

NETWORK
PROTOCOLS

Protocol means a rule that defines how devices


will communicate with each other.
HTTP HTTPS
Hypertext Transfer Protocol Hypertext Transfer Protocol
Secure
This is the protocol used by a web
browser to make requests to a web This protocol works in the same way as
server for a webpage. If there is an error HTTP but data transfers are encrypted
with the request, it will return a code to prevent interception from hackers.
(e.g. 404).

WEB PROTOCOLS
Servers are dedicated network devices for
storing files to be accessed by other devices on
the network.
A web server stores files for a website.
FILE
FTP (File Transfer Protocol) allows files to be
uploaded to a server. It requires authentication TRANSFER
(i.e. username and password) to access the
server.
FTP can also be used to
Protocol
download files,
particularly those with
large file sizes.
EMAIL PROTOCOLS

POP SMTP IMAP


Post Office Simple Mail Internet Message
Protocol Transfer Protocol Access Protocol

Requests new received Sends an email to a Synchronises email


emails from a server. The server to be sent to its clients with the server to
server returns new intended recipient. This both send and receive
emails if there are any. protocol sends email emails. This is accessible
only. across devices.
Transmission Control
Protocol
TCP enables data to be sent over the
internet (server to client or vice
versa). TCP does this by splitting data
into packets to send. TCP is reliable

TRANSPORT because any missing packets are


always resent.

PROTOCOLS
User Datagram Protocol
UDP performs the same function as
TCP. However, it is not reliable
because any missing packets are
discarded. UDP is faster for some data
(e.g. streaming).
NETWORK AND LINK PROTOCOLS

IP Etherne Wi-Fi
Internet Protocol (IP) t
Ethernet is a family of WLAN (Wi-Fi) is another
