Can someone explain what is meant by network protocol? Need a clear definition!

A network protocol is basically a set of rules that devices use to communicate with each other. Think of it like a language—if two computers don’t "speak" the same protocol, they can’t understand each other.

HTTP and TCP are examples of network protocols. HTTP is used for web browsing, while TCP ensures data gets sent reliably between devices.
