Protocols are the set of standards that is followed while making any communication in the network.
Any node in the network cannot send or receive the data without following the protocols defined for the networking process.
Protocols are like a defined procedure or function that is used to handle the delivery and damage or error in the network .
We have many protocols for different Operating Systems. like TCP/IP for Windows and for UNIX , IPX for the Novell Netware.
Besides the difference in each network protocol, the resource sharing is the same for all these protocols.
This will makes the several protocols to coexist in the same physical media and will let the flexibility to use the same hardware for all these protocols.
This is also called as the protocol independence.
