Types of TCPIP Protocols and how it works

First of all, we must clarify that the different communication protocol groups depend mainly on two original protocols, TCP and IP.

TCP – Transmission Control Protocol
TCP is used to transfer data from an application to a network. TCP is responsible for passing data to IP packets before they are sent, and reassembling those packets when they are received.

IP – Internet Protocol
The IP protocol is responsible for communication with other computers. The IP protocol is responsible for sending and receiving data packets to and from the Internet.

HTTP – Hyper Text Transfer Protocol
The HTTP protocol is responsible for the communication between the web server and the web browser.

HTTP is used to send a request from your web client through the browser to the web server, and to return the request in the form of web pages from the server to the client’s browser.

HTTPS – Secure HTTP
The HTTPS protocol is responsible for the secure communication between the web server and the web browser. The HTTPS protocol is based on executing credit card transactions and other sensitive data.

SSL – Secure Sockets Layer
SSL data encryption protocol is used for secure data transmission.

SMTP – Simple Mail Transfer Protocol
The SMTP protocol is used to send email.

IMAP – Internet Message Access Protocol
IMAP is used to store and retrieve email.

POP – Post Office Protocol
POP is used to download email from the email server to your computer.

FTP – File Transfer Protocol
FTP is responsible for transferring files between computers.

NTP – Network Time Protocol
The NTP protocol is used to synchronize the time (clock) between computers.

DHCP – Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
DHCP is used to allocate IP addresses to computers in the network.

SNMP – Simple Network Management Protocol
SNMP is used to manage computer networks.

LDAP – Lightweight Directory Access Protocol
LDAP is used to collect information about users and e-mail addresses from the Internet.

ICMP – Internet Control Message Protocol
ICMP is based on network error handling.

ARP – Address Resolution Protocol
The ARP protocol is used by IP to find addresses (identifiers) of devices through a computer network card based on IP addresses.

RARP – Reverse Address Resolution Protocol
RARP is used by IP to find IP addresses based on the addresses of devices through a computer network card.

BOOTP – Boot Protocol
BOOTP is used to start the computer from the network.

PPTP – Point to Point Tunneling Protocol
PPTP is used to set up a communication channel between private networks.
