Network - Communication Protocol

Map Of Internet 1973

About

A protocol design:

  • the interactions that may occurs between participant
  • and states of this interactions (lifecycle)

It's generally designed as a finite automata. State machines are also used to express the valid interaction sequences, called protocols.

In an network, a protocol is the language description on how two or more processes will communicate together.

Same as channel ??.

Protocols are instructions for multiple agents. Algorithms are instructions for single agents.

Process Communication Channel

Type Client Server Installation Machine
TCP/IP sockets Two different
Shared Memory Same
UNIX domain sockets Same

Using a Shared Memory segment allows for the best performance, but greater memory usage. Using UNIX domain sockets allows for improved performance over TCP/IP, but with less memory consumption than a shared memory segment connection.

Level

See OSI

Lower Level

Protocols that implements:

  • Addressing,
  • routing
  • and traffic control

are in Network Layer protocol (OSI level 4)

Example: tcp, udp, …

Higher level

Level 7 - Application Layer

Web

Console

IP

File

Others

Operating System

Windows

Windows - System Information will list low network protocol (OSI Layer 4) such as:
