Top 8 network protocols

(explained in 2 mins or less):

1 Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS):

→ It's used for secure communication over internet

→ It encrypts HTTP traffic using Transport Layer Security

→ Yet it needs TLS certificates and extra setup

===

2 User Datagram Protocol (UDP):

→ It's used in gaming, video calls & live streams

→ It sends packets without waiting for replies for speed

→ But there's a risk of losing or reordering data

===

3 Transmission Control Protocol (TCP):

→ It's used on websites, emails, and file downloads

→ It opens a connection and checks each packet

→ It ensures reliable and ordered delivery

→ Yet adds delay & overhead

===

4 Internet Protocol (IP):

→ It's used to send data packets across internet

→ It adds the source and destination addresses to each packet

→ It's fast, but doesn't ensure delivery or the correct order

===

5 Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP):

→ It's used to send files securely between systems

→ It runs over SSH and encrypts the session

→ But it won’t work with plain FTP tools

===

6 Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP):

→ It's used to send emails between mail servers

→ But it doesn’t handle inbox access

===

7 Secure Shell (SSH):

→ It's used to access a remote server securely

→ It opens an encrypted channel using keys or passwords

→ But it's necessary to manage keys properly

===

8 Domain Name System (DNS):

→ It maps site names to IP addresses

→ It queries DNS servers to find the server

→ It makes the internet human-friendly

→ But it adds latency to the first request
