For any network to exist , there must be connections between computers and agreements or what is termed as protocols about the communications language. However, setting up connections and agreements between dispersed computers (from PCs to mainframes) is complicated by the fact that over the last decade, systems have become increasingly heterogeneous in their software and hardware, as well as their intended functionality.
Protocols are software that performs a variety of actions necessary for data transmission between computers. Stated more precisely, protocols are a set of rules for inter-computer communication that have been agreed upon and implemented by many vendors, users and standards bodies. Ideally, a protocols standard allows heterogeneous computers to talk to each other.
