Open protocols are those that are publicly available and can be used and implemented by anyone without restrictions. Examples include HTTP, FTP, and TCP/IP. Proprietary protocols, on the other hand, are owned by a specific company or organization, and their specifications are not openly shared, limiting usage to licensed entities; examples include Microsoft's SMB and Apple's AFP. The distinction lies in the accessibility and control over the protocols' implementation and usage.
Open standard protocols: Rip or OSPF. They are not Cisco proprietary protocols.
Yes, open protocols are commonly used to link proprietary equipment from different vendors, as they facilitate interoperability and communication between diverse systems. By adhering to standardized protocols, devices can exchange data and work together seamlessly, regardless of the manufacturer. This approach enhances flexibility and reduces vendor lock-in, allowing users to mix and match equipment according to their needs.
Novell owns the IPX/SPX protocol.
RIP and OSpf are non-proprietary protocoleigrp is a proprietary protocol i.e it is a vendor specific
Proprietary Protocols [Built just for a company and owned by a company, basically closed source, where as open source is what we use every day]
A proprietary network protocol is one that does not comply to any open standards. The intent of a proprietary protocol is to limit communication only to nodes that implement a specific application. NetBIOS is an example of a proprietary network protocol that is only applicable to Microsoft Windows hosts. The opposite of a proprietary protocol is an open standard, which can be utilized by any application. An example of an open standard is TCP/IP, the standard protocol of the Internet.
Unix is not open source, it is proprietary. Linux is the open-source version of Unix.
I prefer open source software.
No. It is open source software.
Some PLC systems can use traditional TCP/IP protocols to exchange information; others use a proprietary packet driven system that differs from manufacturer to manufacturer.
The OSI model encompasses all of the TCP/IP sub-protocols plus several other protocols that are not part of TCP/IP. These would include IPX/SPX, NetBEUI, Appletalk, and other proprietary protocols that are not part of the TCP/IP model.
Proprietary file types are files that do not have an open specification, and thus can only be created and edited by a certain program.
