No. A protocol is a set of rules that govern communication. The rules may include the format of data, the different messages that can be exchanged, rules for confirming that data arrived, etc.

Different software implementations for a protocol can vary in some details, especially internal details of how data is handled; the point, of having a protocol, is that the response to certain messages or events has to be predictable.
