Internet Protocols

The Internet is powered by many layers of protocols. Examples of Internet protocols including

• IP: A protocol that uniquely identify devices using IP addresses and provides a routing strategy to send data to a destination IP address.
• TCP/UDP: Protocols that can transport packets of data from one device to another and check for errors along the way.
• TLS: A secure protocol for sending encrypted data so that attackers can’t view private information.
• HTTP & HTTPS: The protocols powering the World Wide Web, what the browser uses every time you load a web page
