Communications Protocol Structures & Models

Communication protocols describe the set of rules to be used in communication exchange; each one having its own syntax, semantics, and synchronization rules. There are currently two main models for communication protocols being used. The Department of Defense (DOD) went in first with the TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol and Internet Protocol) suite in 1970 with which the Internet network evolved. Then the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) effort in the networking domain resulted in the OSI model in 1978.
