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]AoE ATA over Ethernet (AoE) is a network protocol. ATA Bus
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]
FCIP [Fibre Channel over IP]
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]
HSDPA [High-Speed Downlink Packet Access] is an enhanced 3G (third generation) mobile telephony communications protocol in the High-Speed Packet Access (HSPA) family, also termed 3.5G, 3G+ or turbo 3G.
iSCSI [Internet SCSI].
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.
NTP [Network Time Protocol] A standard protocol used to send a time code over the Internet.
PCoIP [PC over IP] a Trade Marked protocol by Teradici for use as a remote display technology, to improve PC asset management by centralizing the operating system, applications and PC components, at the Host. While the Client [User] decodes the Audio, Visual, and USB signals via a desk top portal (including a Monitor, keyboard, printer and so on). Also seen as; PC-over-IP.
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 An interface bus and a protocol.
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.
