List of network protocols


From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an incomplete list of network protocols, categorized by their nearest Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model layers. Many of these protocols, however, are originally based on the Internet Protocol Suite (TCP/IP) and other models and they often do not fit neatly into OSI layers.
