Protocol Specification

Protocol specification refers to a formal description of the rules and procedures that govern communication between devices or systems in a network. It outlines how data is transmitted, the format it takes, error handling, and the sequence of messages. This ensures that different devices can understand and interact with each other effectively, much like a common language. By defining these standards, protocol specifications help ensure compatibility and reliability in digital communications, facilitating smooth interactions in everything from internet browsing to sending emails.
