Hello there

I found a really interesting READ for you people. A listing of various protocols used in data communications.

The Defense Advance Research Projects Agency (DARPA) originally developed Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to interconnect various defense department computer networks. The Internet, an international Wide Area Network, uses TCP/IP to connect government and educational institutions across the world. TCP/IP is also in widespread use on commercial and private networks. The TCP/IP suite includes the following protocols below.

Data Link Layer
++++++++++
ARP/RARP= Address Resolution Protocol/Reverse Address
DCAP= Data Link Switching Client Access Protocol

Network Layer
+++++++++
DHCP= Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
DVMRP= Distance Vector Multicast Routing Protocol
ICMP/ICMPv6= Internet Control Message Protocol
IGMP= Internet Group Management Protocol
IP= Internet Protocol version 4
IPv6= Internet Protocol version 6
MARS= Multicast Address Resolution Server
PIM= Protocol Independent Multicast-Sparse Mode (PIM-SM)
RIP2= Routing Information Protocol
RIPng for IPv6= Routing Information Protocol for IPv6
RSVP= Resource ReSerVation setup Protocol
VRRP= Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol

Transport Layer
++++++++++
Mobile IP= Mobile IP Protocol
RUDP= Reliable UDP
TALI= Transport Adapter Layer Interface
TCP= Transmission Control Protocol
UDP= User Datagram Protocol
Van Jacobson= compressed TCP
XOT= X.25 over TCP

Session Layer
+++++++++
BGMP= Border Gateway Multicast Protocol
Diameter= The Diameter base protocol provides an Authentication, Authorization and Accounting (AAA) framework for applications such as network access or IP mobility.
DIS= Distributed Interactive Simulation
DNS= Domain Name Service
ISAKMP/IKE= Internet Security Association and Key Management Protocol and Internet Key Exchange Protocol
iSCSI= Small Computer Systems Interface
LDAP= Lightweight Directory Access Protocol
MZAP= Multicast-Scope Zone Announcement Protocol
NetBIOS/IP= NetBIOS/IP for TCP/IP Environment

Application Layer
++++++++++++
COPS= Common Open Policy Service
FANP= Flow Attribute Notification Protocol
Finger= User Information Protocol
FTP= File Transfer Protocol
HTTP= Hypertext Transfer Protocol
IMAP4= Internet Message Access Protocol rev 4
IMPPpre/IMPPmes= Instant Messaging and Presence Protocols
IPDC= IP Device Control
IRC= ·Internet Relay Chat Protocol
ISAKMP= Internet Message Access Protocol version 4rev1
NTP= Network Time Protocol
POP3= Post Office Protocol version 3
Radius= Remote Authentication Dial In User Service
RLOGIN= Remote Login
RTSP= Real-time Streaming Protocol
SCTP= Stream Control Transmision Protocol
S-HTTP= Secure Hypertext Transfer Protocol
SLP= Service Location Protocol
SMTP= Simple Mail Transfer Protocol
SNMP= Simple Network Management Protocol
SOCKS= Socket Secure (Server)
TACACS+= Terminal Access Controller Access Control System
TELNET= TCP/IP Terminal Emulation Protocol
TFTP= Trivial File Transfer Protocol
WCCP= Web Cache Coordination Protocol
X-Window= X Window

Routing
++++++
BGP-4= Border Gateway Protocol
EGP= Exterior Gateway Protocol
EIGRP= Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol
HSRP= Cisco Hot Standby Router Protocol
IGRP= Interior Gateway Routing
NARP= NBMA Address Resolution Protocol
NHRP= Next Hop Resolution Protocol
OSPF= Open Shortest Path First
TRIP= Telephony Routing over IP

Tunneling
+++++++
ATMP= Ascend Tunnel Management Protocol
L2F= The Layer 2 Forwarding Protocol
L2TP= Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol
PPTP= Point to Point Tunneling Protocol

Security
++++++
AH= Authentication Header
ESP= Encapsulating Security Payload
TLS= Transport Layer Security Protocol

I found this a very interesting read and have learned a lot more about protocols i thought there was only like 10 max but theres 100's

I hope you enjoy this as much as I did. Here is an Picture diagram of the TCP/IP Protocols structure and how they all work and intergrate with each other. If you found this "READ" good please say so thankyou and I will find more READS like theese

Regards

I've always found reading up on this kinda stuff is really interesting. Maybe that's why the woman love me, though I'm not sure.

The TCP/IP Illustrated series by Richard Stevens are probably the book I've read on this subject. Volumes 1 and 2 are great though I haven't gotten to the third yet.

very nice info m8

great post

Very nice. I have never seen a diagram like that. Most of the ones I have seen are just Microsofts implementation of the tcp/ip stack.
Is there anything missing?

Nice M8.. Thanks, Book marked.

w00w00 greets man big post

Nice contribution m8! Thanks for the info'

a good measure of your 'awesomeness' = how many of those can you implement?

i'm at 13 + 4 unlisted application level protocols ... i got a long ways to go .

Well I dont know how I would use this since I'm still learning, but thanks for taking the time to post it
