This article lists [[communication protocol]]s that are designed for [[file transfer]] over a [[telecommunications network]].
Line 8:
==Protocols for packet-switched networks==
A [[packet-switched]] network [[Data transmission|transmits data]] that is divided into units called ''[[Network packet|packets]]''. A packet comprises a [[Header (computing)|header]] (which describes the packet) and a [[Payload (computing)|payload]] (the data). The [[Internet]] is a packet-switched network, and most of the protocols in this list are designed for its [[protocol stack]], the [[IP protocol suite]].
