Protocol
A set of rules that govern the transmission of data across a network. Examples of
protocols are FTP, DHCP, BOOTP, RARP, IPP, and TCP/IP.
−
FTP: File Transfer Protocol. A client-server protocol allowing a user to transfer files
on one computer to and from another computer over a TCP/IP network. The File
Transfer Protocol also governs the client program with which the user transfers files.
−
DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. A protocol which automatically
specifies the network settings of a client on a TCP/IP network. Many of the settings
required to set up TCP/IP, which is the standard protocol of the Internet, can be
made automatically.
−
BOOTP: BOOT strap Protocol. A protocol that enables a client machine to
automatically obtain network setup information from a server over a TCP/IP network.
BOOTP enables a client to automatically locate such information as the host name,
domain name, and IP address, so that it is not necessary to create these items
manually.
−
RARP: Reserve Address Resolution Protocol. A protocol which associates a
network adapter address (MAC address) with an Internet Protocol (IP) address.
