net work adapter Others are responsible for filtering
information between networks and forwarding data to its
destination. Still other protocols dictate how data is
transferred across the medium, and how servers respond
to workstation requests and vice versa. Common network
protocols responsible for the presentation and formatting
of data for a network operating system are the
Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX) protocol or the Internet
Protocol (IP). Protocols that dictate the format of data for
transferors the medium include token-passing and Carrier
Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD),
implemented as token-ring, ARCNET, FDDI, or Ethernet. The
Router Information Protocol (RIP),a part of the Transmission
Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) suite, forwards
packets from one network to another using the same
network protocol.
R

RJ-45 connector is used for Ethernet cable connections.
Router
A router is the network software or hardware entity
charged with routing packets between networks.
RTP
RTP (Real-time Transport Protocol) is a data transfer
protocol defined to deliver live media to the clients at the
same time, which defines the transmission of video and
audio files in real time for Internet applications.
RTSP
RTSP (Real-time Streaming Protocol) is the standard used to
transmit stored media to the client(s) at the same time,
which provides client controls for random access to the
content stream.
S
Server
It is a simple computer that provides resources, such as
files or other information.
SIP
SIP (Session Initiated Protocol) is a standard protocol that
delivers the real-time communication for Voice over IP
(VoIP), which establishes sessions for features such as
