Protocol Definition: A formal set of conventions governing the format and control of interaction among communicating functional units.
ADCCP [Advanced Data Communication Control Procedures] is a layer 2 protocol [HDLC like]AppleTalk is used with Apple computer systems. LocalTalk Bus
ATM [Asynchronous Transfer Mode] is a Data Link Layer protocol. ATM also defines the physical layer.
CAN Bus [Controller Area Network]
Cellular Digital Packet Data is an out-dated Data Link Layer protocol used in cellular.
DHCP [Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol] is a networking protocol which allows admins to assign a temporary IP address to network computers.
Ethernet uses two separate layer 2 protocols; IEEE802.2 Logical Link Control [LLC], and IEEE802.3 Media Access Control [MAC]
Frame Relay is a layer 2 protocol used with a number of physical layer interfaces; including HSSI, RS-530, RS232, RS449 and many V.xx standards [V.32, V.24, V.42, V.36, V.11]
H.323 is an upper layer protocol developed by the ITU as a tele-conferencing protocol, titled; Packet-based multimedia communications systems
HDLC [High-level Data Link Control]
ISDN [Integrated Services Digital Network].
ISO [International Standards Organization] comprises a family of different protocols that handle all 7 layers of the ISO 7-layer model.
LocalTalk is a layer 2 protocol used with Apple computer systems.
MIL-STD-188 is a layer 2 protocol.
PPP [Point-to-Point Protocol] is a sub protocol of the HDLC protocol.
PPPoE [Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet] is a protocol that provides authentication.
PPTP [Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol] is a VPN protocol that allows the Point to Point Protocol to be tunneled through an IP network.
SMDS [Switched Multimegabit Data Service] is a Wide-Area-Network [WAN] protocol.
STANAG 5066 is a layer 2 protocol.
StarLAN is a layer 2 protocol.
TAP Telocator Access Protocol version 1.8, February 04, 1997. The document specifies a protocol for sending an alphanumeric page by connecting to a paging service via a serial modem.
TCP/IP operates under the following ISO layer standards; Data Link Layer, Network Layer, Transport Layer, Session Layer and the Application layer.
Token Ring
ULP. Upper Level Protocol. The protocol which runs on top of Fibre Channel through the FC-4 layer. Typical ULPs running over Fibre Channel are Small Computer System Interface (SCSI), Internet Protocol (IP), High Performance Parallel Interface (HIPPI), and Intelligent Peripheral Interface (IPI).
Voice over Internet Protocol [VoIP]
X.25 is a ITU WAN protocol.
XNS [Xerox Network Systems] is used as a Network Layer protocol, a Transport Layer Protocol, and upper layer protocol. The XNS protocol is dated and is no longer used in most systems.
