Abstract

Importance of protocols to information communication from one entity (Computer, router, person, etc) to another cannot be over emphasi z ed. In this explorative research we examine various definitions of protocols and their implication in a computer network where information in form of texts, images, videos and voices may need to be transmitted from one end to another. A comprehensive review of the fundamental functions of protocols and requirements for their implementation are discussed. Of particular intere st is the relationship between the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model and protocols. It is stressed that the OSI reference model or any other reference model are not protocols but have strata of layers, each of which is implemented by defined protoco ls. A table that illustrates the functions of each of the seven layers of OSI reference model and the corresponding protocols for their implementation is presented. Data flow within the 7 layers of the OSI model is clearly depicted with illustration of the obvious increase/decrease of overhead as data flows from Application layer down to the physical layer and vice versa. In this work we establish the rationale for the overwhelming acceptability of TCP/IP reference model over the OSI model for computer network data communication . . .
