Overview#

Protocol is a system of rules that allow two or more entities of a communications system to transmit data.

Multiple Protocol often describe different aspects of a single communication. A group of Protocols designed to work together are known as a Protocol Suite; when implemented in software they are a Protocol Stack.

Protocol are a mechanism for achieving polymorphism.[1]!! Items for a Good Protocol

• Protocol Extensibility
• polymorphism
