Yo, noob here too but I’ll take a stab at it. what is meant by network protocol is just how devices agree to send and receive data. Without it, it’d be chaos—like everyone shouting in different languages at once.
Simple example: FTP is for file transfers, SMTP for emails. Different jobs, different rules.
Btw, Wireshark is a cool tool to see protocols in action. It’s like eavesdropping on device convos lol.
