Internet Protocols
Internet protocols, or Internet rules, are the standards used to send data from one computer to another. The protocols that expedite data transfer include Internet Protocol Versions Four and Six, Remote Access, Hyper Transfer, File Transfer, Electronic Mail, and Network News Transfer. Communication and information transfer on the Internet is becoming available in constantly increasing speeds. Internet protocols use these increasing speeds by facilitating communication, and information transfer, while benefiting the end user.
Internet Protocol Versions Four and Six are systems that give each device connected to the Internet an address. Similar to a physical street address, the creators of the Internet ensure the accommodation of the enormous number of current and future Internet users (Lane, p. 92, 2011). Internet Protocol Version Six eventually will take the place of Version Four. Version six can handle more end users, is more efficient, and faster than its predecessor. As an end user, my Internet devices use this Internet protocol every day and thankfully, speeds are always increasing.
Remote Access Protocols are used by remote devices during dial-up and direct Internet connections. These devices, such as personal computers, are capable of operation independently of a network or the Internet. Most dial-up connections use Point-to-Point Protocol while direct Internet connections use Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (Lane, p. 93, 2011). These two protocols use the same methods but Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet allows the connection to take place at faster speeds. My family and I currently utilize Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet by cable modem that allows for fast connections.
Hypertext Transfer Protocol and File Transfer Protocol are both capable of downloading files. Hypertext Transfer Protocol allows transfer of Web pages and file exchange across the Web.
