Network Protocols
TCP/IP
The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)
prepares messages for transmission and also reassembles any messages that are received.

When data is received over a network, the Internet Protocol (IP) is responsible for:

HTTP
-
The protocol allows a browser to request individual files from a web server e.g. text, images, javascript etc.
Once the files have been received, they are rendered into a webpage.
FTP

It can also be used to share files. However, with the growth of cloud storage, this is less common nowadays.

IMAP
Internet Message Access Protocol also enables emails to be downloaded from the server, to the client device.
However, unlike POP, the email can be set to remain on the server after being downloaded
HTTPS
HTTP secure - this protocol works like HTTP but it encrypts web page data before it is sent from the browser or web server.
This ensures that information such as user names, passwords, bank details etc, are transmitted securely.
