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 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
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.
