A LAN (Local Area Network) protocol refers to the set of rules and standards that govern communication within a local network, enabling devices to connect and communicate effectively. Common LAN protocols include Ethernet, which defines the physical and data link layers for wired connections, and Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11), which enables wireless communication. These protocols ensure data packets are transmitted efficiently, manage access to the network, and provide error detection to maintain reliable communication among connected devices.

Is a LAN connected to TCP?

A Local Area Network (LAN) is not directly connected to TCP (Transmission Control Protocol); rather, TCP is a protocol that operates at a higher layer in the networking stack. A LAN provides the physical and data link layers for connecting devices, while TCP functions at the transport layer to facilitate reliable communication between applications over a network. In a typical setup, devices on a LAN can use TCP to transmit data packets over the network, often in combination with IP (Internet Protocol).
