Abstract

Network communication is governed by networking protocols. This is the umbrella term used for rulesets that lay out how data is transported and formatted across (or inside) the boundaries of a network node. For instance, they might define in which byte order a payload is to be transferred, the encoding, the length of the payload, if the payload is retransferred upon a failed attempt, etc.
