Why do you need protocols in computer networks?

You need protocols in computer networks because computer networks consist of devices and software made by many different vendors. The only way to ensure compatibility among them all is to have common documents (i.e. the protocol specifications) that describe the mechanics and formats of all the data exchanged over the network.
