Protocol
Communication on the network is governed by sets of rules
called protocols. Protocols provide the guidelines devices use
to communicate with each other, and thus they have different
functions. Some protocols are responsible for formatting and
presenting and presenting data that will be transferred from
file server memory to the file server’s net work adapter Othe
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
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.
