Network Interface Protocol

A network interface protocol is a set of rules that allows devices to communicate over a network. It defines how data is formatted, transmitted, and received, ensuring different devices and systems can understand each other. Think of it as a common language or handshake protocol that standardizes communication, whether you're sending an email, browsing a website, or sharing files. Examples include Ethernet for wired connections and Wi-Fi for wireless. By following these protocols, devices can reliably exchange information across local networks or the internet.
