Protocol Stack Designing
Steps to Design a Protocol Stack
As you know, a protocol stack is a set of protocols will effectively transmit/transfer data and information between two endpoints by using different set of layers. Protocols in a protocol stack are usually arranged in order of decreasing importance or in the manner of increasing speed. Additionally, you should know that to send an email, you will need to use the protocol stack HTTP, SMTP, and TLS/SSL.
There are so many people who may not know the process or steps to design a protocol stack even while working on protocol developing projects. But we have enlisted here some important steps to design the protocol stack:
- Identify the application layer protocols that need to be included
- Locate the data types that must be sent over the network
- Determine the transport layer protocols required for each application layer protocol
- Consider all the functionalities, protocols and data types necessary for each data type
- Design the network layer protocols required for each transport layer protocol
- Design the physical layer protocols required for each network layer protocol
