Hey everybody welcome to the next video.
So in this video we're gonna be talking about what a protocol is.
Now we've talked about protocols a little bit before and I've mentioned the term but now we're going
to go delve a little bit deeper on what it actually means.
Now a protocol is a set of predefined rules that dictate the format of data how it's transmitted and
how it's received.
Now it's important to understand these concepts because the protocol is just the transferring of data.
So how that happens you need to format it transfer it and then and then handle the receiving of the
data.
Now the reason this is done is because we we have a wide variety of infrastructure hardware software.
There's a lot of changes that can happen but we need some sort of standard.
So when you create a protocol similar to TPP DNS tell us SSL they all have to talk the same way.
So think of this as like somebody being able to speak a language so it doesn't matter where you're from.
If you understand English Spanish Hindi whatever the whatever language that you want to learn if you
understand the language regardless of where you came from you can communicate with people that only
understand that language.
So that's the importance of what a protocol is and why it's being used throughout all of computing.
