I think you are referring to the seven layers of the ISO model. It is a framework that defines the process of moving information from one point to another. That is a complex process with many steps.... too difficult to deal with as one process. The model breaks the process into seven "layers" with each layer defining a part of the process. Each layer defines a result that must be achieved without specifying how to acheive it...so for each layer there can be and are multiple options.
The first layer, for instance, requires a method or "protocol" that can transfer a stream of two values (1 and 0) between 2 sites. Any process that can do that is a layer one protocol. Examples include twisted pair wires, microwave, fiber optic, thicknet, thinnet, etc.
Layer two describes how to prevent two users from talking at the same time and how to group the ones and zeros into meaningful segments. Token Ring, Ethernet, IPX, etc.
Whole books have been written on the subject.

What is the purpose for QoS protocols?
QoS is Quality of Service. Basically it prioritizes VOIP calls.
It is difficult to generalize about protocols because they vary so greatly in purpose but what properties do application protocols display?
The Application layer uses protocols that are implemented within applications and services. While applications provide people with a way to create messages and Application layer services establish an interface to the network, protocols provide the rules and formats that govern how data is treated.
What was the purpose of the seven mile bridge?
The purpose of the Seven Mile Bridge was to speed up traffic. Also to connect the Middle and Lower Keys.
What is the purpose of Standard user protocols for computers?
even microsoft website doesnt have it all i know is that is is some kind of program connected with windows.
What Ensures that the information is correct and that no unauthorized person or malicious software program has altered that data?
There are a variety of security protocols that are used for that purpose.
What was the purpose of Francisco de Coronado's trip?
The purpose was to find the seven cities of Cibolo ( Gold)
What are the seven protocols?
The seven protocols refer to the seven key communication protocols in the context of network and internet communication. These include Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), Internet Protocol (IP), User Datagram Protocol (UDP), Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), File Transfer Protocol (FTP), Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP), and Post Office Protocol (POP). Each protocol serves specific functions, such as data transmission, web browsing, file transfers, and email communication, facilitating seamless interaction over networks.
What is main purpose of PCI DSS?
The main purpose of PCI DSS is to protect the information used with a payment card (whether credit or debit). The company will have protocols to make sure that identity theft is an extremely low possiblility.
What are protocols and why are they introduced in network communications?
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.
In Perfect World International what is the purpose of the Token of the Seven?
As far as i can tell with researching it. There seems to currently be no purpose. it just sits there
What is the differences between routing and routed protocols?
Routing protocols are used by routers (RIP, EIGRP, OSPF) Routed protocols are the actual protocols on the wire (TCP/IP)
What is the purpose of protocols in data communications and how do they facilitate the exchange of information between devices?
Protocols in data communications serve as rules that govern how data is transmitted and received between devices. They facilitate the exchange of information by ensuring that devices can understand and interpret the data being sent, establish connections, and manage the flow of data. In essence, protocols enable devices to communicate effectively and reliably with each other in a standardized manner.
