For Communications protocol we have terms and definitions in 3 topics. The topics are Computer Virus, Import Cars and Technology.

Communications Protocol (Computer Virus)

A set of rules designed to enable computers to exchange data. A communications protocol defines issues such as transmission rate, interval type, and mode.

Communications Protocol (Import Cars)

The set of rules defining how information will be transfured . All communications betweene computers or other electronic devices require that the devices agree on the format of the data. The set of rules defining a format is called a protocol.

Communications Protocol (Technology)

A set of rules or standards designed to enable computers to connect with one another and to exchange information with as little error as possible. The protocol generally accepted for standardizing overall computer communications is a seven-layer set of hardware and software guidelines known as the OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) model. A somewhat different standard, widely used before the OSI model was developed, is IBM's SNA (Systems Network Architecture). The word protocol is often used, sometimes confusingly, in reference to a multitude of standards affecting different aspects of communication, such as file transfer (for example, XMODEM and ZMODEM), handshaking (for example, XON/XOFF), and network transmissions (for example, CSMA/CD). See also ISO/OSI model, SNA.
