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 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
