Protocol
Why this answer is correct
The correct option is (4)
Protocol
Concept:-
A set of rules that governs data communication is called a protocol.
Key Points
- A set of guidelines called a protocol governs communication. A sender, a receiver, and a method by which the message is sent from the sender to the receiver are the fundamental elements of communication.
- A "blueprint of methods, properties, and other requirements that suit a given task or piece of functionality" is defined by protocols.
- A protocol is a set of instructions for formatting and processing data in networking. Computers have a common language known as network protocols.
- Even if the software and hardware used by the computers in a network may be very dissimilar, the usage of protocols allows them to communicate with one another.
Additional Information Networking:- Networking is the informal social exchange of knowledge and ideas among those who share a profession or a particular interest. A single area of agreement is frequently the starting point for networking.
Standard:- Standards are a set of guidelines for data transmission that are required for the exchange of data between devices.
Topology:- The physical and logical configuration of a network's nodes and connections is known as its topology. Devices like switches, routers, and software with switch and router features are typically included in nodes.
