Protocol and Standard
Protocol is the working set of rules and specifications that are used communicate and Standard is guidelines to be followed when a new design is to be formulated.
Summary
Protocol is the working set of rules and specifications that are used communicate and Standard is guidelines to be followed when a new design is to be formulated.
Things to Remember
- A protocol is a formal description of a set of rules and conventions that govern a particular aspect of how devices on a network communicate.
- Standard is guidelines to be followed when a new design is to be formulated.
- Protocols determine the format, timing, sequencing, and error control in data communication.

Protocol and Standard
Protocol and Standard
The word protocol comes from the Greek word protocollon, meaning a leaf of paper glued to a manuscript volume that describes the contents. Protocols are the formal description of a set of rules and conventions that governor controls and co-ordinate a particular aspect of how devices on a network can communicate. It defines the format, timing, sequencing, and error control mechanisms in data communication. Standard is guidelines that are followed when a new design is to be introduced.
Protocols control way in which data communicated, which include the following:
- How the physical network is built
- How computers connect to the network
- How the data is formatted for transmission
- How the data is sent over the network
- How to deal with errors
