hard ware protocols are: - CSMA.CD , TOKEN RING, ATM,
protocol converter
Arp (address resolution protocol)

Ethernet is not a device, it is software protocol. There is hardware to implement the protocol, e.g. NICs, switches, hubs, etc.

A protocol analyzer or packet analyzer is a hardware or software tool used to intercept digital communications occurring over a portion of a network. Examples of packet analyzers (hardware and software) products are: Wireshark (Ethereal) tcpdump Netscout snoop
Arp (address resolution protocol)
A USART protocol is computer hardware/software that converts parallel data signals to serial data signals. USART is an abbreviation for Universal Synchronous/Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter.
A protocol is a set of rules which is used by computers to communicate with each other across a network. A protocol is a convention or standard that controls or enables the connection, communication, and data transfer between computing endpoints. In its simplest form, a protocol can be defined as the rules governing the syntax, semantics, and synchronization of communication. Protocols may be implemented by hardware, software, or a combination of the two. At the lowest level, a protocol defines the behavior of a hardware connection.A technique is a procedure used to accomplish a specific activity or task.

n/y access protocol means say in arp process when an ip has a data and it needs to sent it, it must inform network access protocol such as ethernet and token ring of the destination hardware add on the local n/w.
