Why is data protocol used?

data protocol is used to route the data from the source to destination, and it is also used for congestion control, flow control & error control in the data that is being transmitted........... data protocol is responsible for the end to end delivery of the data, which may be in the form of messages, frames, packets across the different layers of the protocol architecture....


What is peer to peer process in osi model?

Protocol layers may be defined in such a way that the communications within a layer is independent of the operation of the layer being being used. This is known as "peer-to-peer" communication and is an important goal of the OSI Reference Model. Each layer provides a protocol to communicate with its peer. When a packet is transmitted by a layer, a header consisting of Protocol Control Information (PCI) is added to the data to be sent. In OSI terminology, the packet data (also known as the Payload) is called a Protocol Data Unit (PDU). The packet so-formed, called a Service Data Unit (SDU) is passed via a service access point to the layer below. This is sent using the service of the next lower protocol layer.


What does the protocol field in the IP header identify?

The protocol field, in the IP header, identifies what kind of data is in the IP packet - the upper-layer protocol. For example, if the code is 6, that means that the data is a TCP segment.
