Is ISP a protocol?

No. ISP means "internet service provider."


What is your isp address?

Actually there is IP address(internet protocol address) and ISP (Internet service provider) to see your ip address and isp click on related link, and wait till it fully loaded


Does you ip address remain the same even if you take your computer from Washington to Nigeria?

No. The internet IP address of your computer can change, even if your computer stays in the same location, because your external/internet IP address is assigned to your computer by your internet service provider (ISP). Usually internet service providers assign IPs to subscribers with a network configuration protocol called DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). This protocol picks an IP address from a pool (the IP pool) and assigns it to a subscriber. Depending on how DHCP is configured it can keep that same address assigned to that subscriber for a certain period. This period is called the lease period. When the lease of your IP address expires your computer will get a new IP, even if it stays in the same location (and thus connected to the same ISP). When you pick up your computer and move it to Nigeria, it will certainly move to a different ISP and it will certainly get a different IP address.

How does a computer know you're online?

What is the protocol used to transfer files over the internet?

A modem only transmits the data, the computer uses a protocol to connect to the ISP. Different types of protocol exist, but I think you're probably thinking of FTP - File Transfer Protocol. If the modem is used to connect to an ISP for an internet connection, than the standard internet protocols and utilities can be used for file transfer. They include ftp, sftp, http and the wget command. If the modem is used to establish a serial connection such as a terminal emulation session, protocols like kermit and xmodem/ymodem/zmodem should be available that perform errorfree file transfers.

What is L2PT?

Is a tunneling protocol used to support virtual private networks (VPNs) or as part of the delivery of services by ISPs. It does not provide any encryption or confidentiality by itself; it relies on an encryption protocol that it passes within the tunnel to provide privacy. It's also carry common protocol to encapsulation process Point - to - point (PPP). L2TP does not provide confidentiality or strong authentication by itself. L2TP requires that the ISP's routers support the protocol. The L2TP protocol is primarily used to integrate multi-protocol dial-up services into an existing ISP point of presence. The protocol is commonly used for reselling ADSL endpoint and cable network connectivity by sitting between the end-user and the ISP. As a result, the reselling cable provider does not appear to be the one doing the transport.
