What are Network Protocols? Here's Why They're Important
Without network protocols, the internet as we know it wouldn’t exist. Watch to learn what network protocols are and why they’re important.
Think of network protocols as common languages that enable computers to communicate across networks. They’re a set of rules that essentially dictate how servers, routers, computers, and phones communicate. In fact, they’re what make the internet possible.
Network protocols can be sorted into three types: Communication, management, and security. And, there’s thousands of protocols that fall under those categories. Common protocols and protocol suites include TCP/IP, POP 3, and SMTP.

simple network management protocol
Very helpful!
pretty cool video, hello daniel
Do we rely on things like "firewalls, antivirus programs, and anti-spy software" to protect us from insecure protocols? I though that best practice would be to replace the old protocols with new ones that have security measures built in e.g. https, ftps, etc.
What is an advantage of network devices using open standard protocols?
what is false root advertising? can't seem to find it in google

Why are internet protocols important in sending and receiving data over the internet?
How do different internet protocols work?
I work in building automation industry. We use a communications protocol called BACnet. But there are many types of building communication protocols; Modbus, LONworks, EnOcean/ZigBee (wireless), to name a few. A lot of the time, we need to integrate with building equipment (pumps, chillers, boiler, etc) that communicate using a different communications protocol. In this case, a gateway is required to translate the data.
why network protocol limits use of physical
resources?
