A protocol is a set of rules describing some behavior. In order to communicate in a common manner, the sender and receiver have to agree on the "language" of communication.

A protocol states what those rules are, and because they are a standard, everyone agrees and knows what to expect.

What wired network security protocols called?

Wired network security protocols include several standards aimed at protecting data integrity and confidentiality. Key protocols are IEEE 802.1X for port-based network access control, and IPsec, which secures Internet Protocol communications by authenticating and encrypting each IP packet. Additionally, protocols like WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) and WPA2, while primarily for wireless networks, are also relevant for securing data over wired connections in certain configurations. These protocols work together to ensure secure communication within wired networks.


A process called handshaking allows two communications devices on a network to negotiate their communications and protocols true or false?

True. Handshaking is a process in networking where two communication devices establish a connection by negotiating parameters such as protocols, data rates, and error-checking methods. This ensures that both devices are compatible and can communicate effectively before data transmission begins.

Which factors determine network response times?

Network response times are influenced by factors such as bandwidth availability, network congestion, distance between the client and server, latency introduced by network devices, and the efficiency of the networking protocols being used. Additionally, the processing power of the client and server machines can also impact network response times.


What is the function of mobile VoIP?

Mobile VoIP or simply mVoIP is an extension of mobility to a Voice over IP network. Two types of communication are generally supported: cordless/DECT/PCS protocols for short range or campus communications where all base stations are linked into the same LAN, and wider area communications using 3G/4Gprotocols.Mobile VoIP or simply mVoIP is an extension of mobility to a Voice over IP network.
