A network protocol is a set of rules, how to handle communication. These rules may be followed by the endpoints of a communication (computers, printers, etc.), or by intermediate pieces of equipment (switches, routers, etc.), or by both, depending on what particular protocol you are talking about.

What is meant by 'Protocol'?
Protocols are the set of rules to regulating the procedure of communication over computer networks.
Which Device is used to connect dissimilar networks?
The purpose of a router is to connect dissimilar networks.
What network device connects multiple newtorks that use the same protocols?
The network device that connect multiple networks that use the same protocol is a ROUTER.
What is DECNET?
DECnet from Digital Equipment Corporation is a suite of protocols which may be used on large networks that integrate mainframe and minicomputer systems. It is a routable protocol. DNA - Digital Network Architecture.
Bridge work in which layer in osi layer?
Gateways work on all seven OSI layers . The main job of a gateway is to convert protocols among communications networks.
What are the types of networking protocols?
look up the tcp/ip set of protocols
Which layer of the osi model defines protocols for interconnecting similar networks?
application
What do you use for two networks that work on two different network protocols?
Gateway
What are standardized procedures for communicating between network devices?
These are called protocols - a standard set of rules for common communications across networks.
What is used to connect two or more networks?
A Translational Bridge is used to connect networks that use different protocols.
What three elements are common to all networks?
Network services, Protocols and Transmission Meida.
There are certain protocols for communication between networks?
There are many ways to communicate between networks. The rules for doing so are called protocols, and there are many known protocols. Some are historical in nature (meaning they have been around a long time) and some are newer ones developed in the last few years. Protocols describe how to communicate and when to communicate. They may be specific to a means of communication (i.e. web traffic, email traffic) or they may be more general (TCP/IP - covering many protocols). Deciding on which protocol to communicate with other networks is based on how the networks communicate currently and what kind of traffic will be transferred between the two. A protocol is designed so that there are common rules regarding communication, so certain protocols will be used to be common between networks. TCP/IP is an example of a very common, widely-used communication protocol.
What is meant by 'Protocol'?
Protocols are the set of rules to regulating the procedure of communication over computer networks.
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.
Why does a protocol have to be routable to communicate on internet?
There are two types of Protocols according to mechanism:Routable & Non RoutableNon Routable protocols work on Broadcast & doesn't maintain tables whereas Routable (Routed) protocols are designed to work in larger networks & tables are maintained dynamically on Network devices.Internet is vast & constitutes multiple Networks. Routable Protocols route information across Internet devices between Source to Destination Network.
Which protocol is not routable?
NON-ROUTABLE PROTOCOLS cannot survive being routed. Non-routable protocols presume that allcomputers they will ever communicate with are on the same network (to get them working in a routed environment, you must bridge the networks). Todays modern networks are not very tolerant of protocols that do not understand the concept of a multi-segment network and most of these protocols are dying or falling out of use.NetBEUIDLCLATDRPMOP
Which algorithm is run by link-state routing protocols to calculate the shortest path to destination networks?
Dijkstra
