Protocol stack




<protocol> A layered set of protocols which work together to provide a set of network functions.

Each intermediate protocol layer uses the layer below it to provide a service to the layer above.

The OSI seven layer model is an attempt to provide a standard framework within which to describe protocol stacks.
