9P, or the Plan 9 Filesystem Protocol, is a network protocol developed for the Plan 9 distributed operating system ...more on Wikipedia about "9P"

In computer networking using the Internet Protocol suite, the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is the method for finding a host's MAC address when only its IP address is known. The sender broadcasts an ARP packet containing the Internet address of another host and waits for it to respond with its MAC address, which is then stored in a cache for later use. ...more on Wikipedia about "Address Resolution Protocol"

AEP (AppleTalk Echo Protocol) is a transport layer protocol in the AppleTalk protocol suite designed to test the reachability of network nodes. AEP generates packets to be sent to the network node and is identified in the Type field of a packet as an AEP packet. The packet is first passed to the source DDP. After it is identified as an AEP packet, it is forwarded to the node where the packet is examined by the DDP at the destination. After the packet is identified as an AEP packet, the packet is then copied and a field in the packet is altered to create an AEP reply packet, and is then returned to the source node. ...more on Wikipedia about "AppleTalk Echo Protocol"

The Application Configuration Access Protocol (ACAP) is a protocol which enhances IMAP by allowing the user to set up address books, user options, and other data for universal access. ...more on Wikipedia about "Application Configuration Access Protocol"

Application Exchange (APEX) was an early proposal to the IETF of a standard protocol for instant messaging. It was based on XML, but is no longer being considered for use. Today, SIP and SIMPLE, and XMPP are currently being discussed for us as an instant messagning protocol. Proponents of APEX have now mostly put their support behind XMPP as it is also based on XML. ...more on Wikipedia about "Application Exchange"

The ASCII ribbon campaign is an internet phenomenon started in 1998 advocating that the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol used for Internet e-mail not include binary information encoded within. ...more on Wikipedia about "ASCII ribbon"

Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) is a network protocol used to detect faults between two forwarding engines. It provides low-overhead, low-latency detection of faults even on physical media that don't support failure detection of any kind, such as ethernet, virtual circuits, tunnels and MPLS LSPs. ...more on Wikipedia about "Bidirectional Forwarding Detection"

binkp is a protocol for transferring FidoNet mail over reliable connections. ...more on Wikipedia about "Binkp"

In computing, BOOTP, short for Bootstrap Protocol, is a UDP network protocol used by a network client to obtain its IP address automatically. It is usually done in booting process of computers or operating systems running on them. The BOOTP servers assign the IP-address from a pool of addresses to each client. It was originally defined in RFC 951. ...more on Wikipedia about "BOOTP"

The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is the core routing protocol of the Internet. It works by maintaining a table of IP networks or 'prefixes' which designate network reachability between autonomous systems (AS). It is described as a path vector protocol. BGP does not use technical metrics, but makes routing decisions based on network policies or rules. The current version of BGP, BGP version 4, is specified in request for comment RFC 4271 (as per Jan 2006). This RFC obsoletes RFC 1771. ...more on Wikipedia about "Border Gateway Protocol"

CalDAV is a proposal for a standard protocol to enable calendar access via WebDAV. ...more on Wikipedia about "CalDAV"

In computing, the Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) is an authentication protocol used to log on a user to an Internet access provider. ...more on Wikipedia about "Challenge-handshake authentication protocol"

The CHARGEN (character generator) service is an internet protocol defined in RFC 864. It is intended for testing and measurement purposes. ...more on Wikipedia about "CHARGEN"

The Common Address Redundancy Protocol or CARP is a protocol which allows multiple hosts on the same local network to share a set of IP addresses. Its primary purpose is to provide failover redundancy, but in some configurations CARP can also provide load balancing functionality. ...more on Wikipedia about "Common Address Redundancy Protocol"

The Common Indexing Protocol (CIP) was an attempt in the IETF working group FIND during the mid-1990s to define a protocol for exchanging index information between directory services. ...more on Wikipedia about "Common Indexing Protocol"

The Common Open Policy Service (COPS) Protocol is part of the internet protocol suite as defined by the IETF RFC 2748. ...more on Wikipedia about "Common Open Policy Service"

Conch is an implementation of the secure shell (SSH) protocol written in the Python programming language. SSH is a protocol designed to allow remote access to shells and commands. Conch implements the server side of this protocol. ...more on Wikipedia about "Conch (SSH)"

In telecommunications, connection-oriented describes a means of transmitting data in which the devices at the end points use a preliminary protocol to establish an end-to-end connection before any data is sent. Connection-oriented protocol service is sometimes called a "reliable" network service, because it guarantees that data will arrive in the proper sequence. Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is a connection-oriented protocol. ...more on Wikipedia about "Connection-oriented protocol"

In telecommunications, connectionless describes communication between two network end points in which a message can be sent from one end point to another without prior arrangement. The device at one end of the communication transmits data to the other, without first ensuring that the recipient is available and ready to receive the data. The device sending a message simply sends it addressed to the intended recipient. If there are problems with the transmission, it may be necessary to resend the data several times. The Internet Protocol (IP) and User Datagram Protocol (UDP) are connectionless protocols. ...more on Wikipedia about "Connectionless protocol"

The Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP) is a message-oriented transport layer protocol that is currently under development in the IETF. ...more on Wikipedia about "Datagram Congestion Control Protocol"

The Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) protocol provides communications privacy for datagram protocols. The protocol allows client/server applications to communicate in a way that is designed to prevent eavesdropping, tampering, or message forgery. The DTLS protocol is based on the TLS protocol and provides equivalent security guarantees. Datagram semantics of the underlying transport are preserved by the DTLS protocol. ...more on Wikipedia about "Datagram Transport Layer Security"

The DAYTIME service is an internet protocol defined in RFC 867. It is intended for testing and measurement purposes. ...more on Wikipedia about "DAYTIME"

The DCE Distributed File System (DCE/DFS) is ...more on Wikipedia about "DCE Distributed File System"

The "Default-free zone" refers simultaneously to both the collection of all Internet networks who do not use a default route and therefore have "full" BGP tables and the "full BGP tables" themselves. ...more on Wikipedia about "Default-free zone"

Diameter is an AAA (authentication, authorization and accounting) protocol for applications such as network access or IP mobility. The basic concept is to provide a base protocol that can be extended in order to provide AAA services to new access technologies. Diameter is intended to work in both local and roaming AAA situations. ...more on Wikipedia about "DIAMETER"
