PROTOCOL ...................................................
protocol is what we called for common language that used to talk with one another on a network
communication protocol. ex. TCP/IP, UDP.
They communicate in streams of bits (0 or1) the order of these bits are either (big or small endian) simply meaning right to left or left to right; such as in Arabic (RTL) or English (LTR).
A group of these bits is called a packet. Packets are received at a network adapter and de-packetized depending on the protocol. A protocol can be identified by the first couple of bits in a packet. A packet also has a pay-load, or simply the data. Data get extracted from the packets and delivered to your application. Simple as that!
