Networking Protocol and There Types

Networking protocol is defined as the set of instructions or rule governs the communication between network devices. In computer networking protocols allows packet switching to transfer and receive the data in the form of packets.

So, here in this blog I describe the types of protocol use for computer networking.

Types of Networking Protocol:

Ethernet protocol

Ethernet protocols is one of the common protocol of networking. Ethernet protocol works in two modes of operation one is half duplex and full duplex. In half duplex modes of operation efficiency of data transmission is very low, while in full duplex mode efficiency is high. It uses CSMA/CD method to transfer a data. It transfers the data at rate of 10 Mbps but also improved versions are available for data transfer.

Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet

The Ethernet protocol used before has very less data transfer speed as describe above it is only 10 Mbps. So to increase the data transfer speed and make your computer speedup some advanced version of Ethernet are introduced with much higher speed that is 100 Mbps. Now it is known as Fast Ethernet.
Gigabit Ethernet protocol data transmitting speed is increased up to 1 Gbps. This protocol is most widely used for data transformation.

ATM

Here ATM stands for Asynchronous Transfer Mode, it is also a type of network protocol which is used to transmit data. Its data transmitting speed is 155 Mbps or sometime greater then 155 Mbps. In this protocol data is transferred in the form of small packets of fixed size. This protocol offers you high speed internet connections and this make your computer to transfer data at higher speed and computer runs faster. enables the computer to achieve faster transfer speeds. ATM supports quality imaging and audio files. This system is often used to connect two or more LANs, and to provide high-speed Internet connections.
