Protocol War

The "Protocol War" refers to the competitive struggle among various computer networking protocols, which are sets of rules that determine how data is transmitted over networks. Different protocols aim to optimize aspects like speed, efficiency, security, and compatibility. For example, the fight between TCP/IP and other networking protocols has shaped the internet's development. The term highlights the dynamic evolution as organizations and developers advocate for their favored protocols, leading to shifts in technology adoption and standards within the digital landscape. Ultimately, the most effective protocols gain widespread use, influencing global communication and information exchange.
