Rapporteurs group on layered model for public data network.
A protocol in the context of networking is essentially a system of rules which define how data is transferred from a source to a destination, at different levels of abstraction from the physical level of electrical pulses carried via cables or wireless, or fibreoptical signals, to the more abstract level of messages sent by an application such as email. The tcpip protocol is really a stack of protocols, consisting of several different protocols on both layers 3 and 4 of the osi model. It also responds to service requests from transport layer and issues service requests to data link layer. Packets are fired into the ether, with no indication of whether they arrived or not.
