Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Networks needs protocols to set the rules for how data is transmitted across the network?
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A network protocol is an established set of rules that determine how data is transmitted between different devices in the same network. Essentially, it allows connected devices to communicate with each other, regardless of any differences in their internal processes, structure or design.

Detailed explanation-2: -TCP – Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) separates data into packets that can be shared over a network. These packets can then be sent by devices like switches and routers to the designated targets. UDP – User Datagram Protocol (UDP) works in a similar way to TCP, sending packets of data over the network.

Detailed explanation-3: -Common network protocols, including Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and Internet Protocol (IP), enable the exchange of information across the internet and work behind the scenes so effectively that many users don’t think twice about them or how the internet works.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Internet Protocol (IP) is a protocol, or set of rules, for routing and addressing packets of data so that they can travel across networks and arrive at the correct destination. Data traversing the Internet is divided into smaller pieces, called packets.
