Common Internet Protocols:

1. IP (Internet Protocol)

   • Addressing & routing of packets on the internet

   • Versions: IPv4, IPv6

2. TCP (Transmission Control Protocol)

   • Reliable data transfer, connection-oriented protocol

   • Works with IP (TCP/IP)

3. UDP (User Datagram Protocol)

   • Connectionless, faster but less reliable data transfer

4. HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol)

   • Protocol for transferring web pages (web browsing)

5. HTTPS (HyperText Transfer Protocol Secure)

   • Secure version of HTTP using encryption (SSL/TLS)

6. FTP (File Transfer Protocol)

   • Used to transfer files between client and server

7. SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol)

   • Protocol to send emails

8. POP3 (Post Office Protocol 3)

   • Protocol to receive emails (download to local device)

9. IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol)

   • Protocol to access emails on a mail server without downloading

10. DNS (Domain Name System)

    • Converts domain names (like google.com) to IP addresses

11. DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)

    • Automatically assigns IP addresses to devices in a network

12. SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol)

    • Used for network management and monitoring

13. Telnet

    • Protocol to remotely access another computer (less secure)

14. SSH (Secure Shell)

    • Secure way to remotely access and manage devices

15. ARP (Address Resolution Protocol)

    • Maps IP addresses to physical MAC addresses on a local network

16. ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol)

    • Used for error messages and diagnostics (e.g., ping)

Summary:

Internet protocols are sets of rules that let devices communicate over networks. Different protocols handle different tasks — from sending emails to loading websites to managing network devices.
