Host-to-Host Protocol

The Host-to-Host Protocol is a set of rules that enables two computers (hosts) to communicate directly with each other over a network. It ensures that data sent from one computer is correctly received and understood by the other, handling things like addressing, data formatting, and error checking. Essentially, it facilitates a reliable, point-to-point connection so that the two computers can exchange information accurately and efficiently, forming the foundation for network communication.
