The Domain Name System Security Extensions (DNSSEC) is a suite of Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) specifications for securing certain kinds of information provided by the Domain Name System (DNS) as used on Internet Protocol (IP) networks.

Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV) is an extension of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) that allows clients to perform remote Web content authoring operations.

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a standardized network protocol used on Internet Protocol (IP) networks.

The Gopher protocol /ˈɡoʊfər/ is a TCP/IP application layer protocol designed for distributing, searching, and retrieving documents over the Internet.

The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is an application protocol for distributed, collaborative, hypermedia information systems.

The Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) is one of the main protocols of the internet protocol suite.

The Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) is a communications protocol used by hosts and adjacent routers on IPv4 networks to establish multicast group memberships.

The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP; /ˈɛldæp/) is an open, vendor-neutral, industry standard application protocol for accessing and maintaining distributed directory information services over an Internet Protocol (IP) network.

This is a list of Internet socket port numbers used by protocols of the transport layer of the Internet Protocol Suite for the establishment of host-to-host connectivity.

Network File System (NFS) is a distributed file system protocol originally developed by Sun Microsystems in 1984, allowing a user on a client computer to access files over a computer network much like local storage is accessed.

The Serial Line Internet Protocol (also SLIP) is an encapsulation of the Internet Protocol designed to work over serial ports and modem connections.

Telnet is an application layer protocol used on the Internet or local area networks to provide a bidirectional interactive text-oriented communication facility using a virtual terminal connection.

("URI" redirects here. For other uses, see URI (disambiguation).) In information technology, a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) is a string of characters used to identify a resource.

The User Datagram Protocol (UDP) is one of the core members of the Internet protocol suite.

Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is a standardized exterior gateway protocol designed to exchange routing and reachability information among autonomous systems (AS) on the Internet.

In information technology, the Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) communications protocol provides communications security for datagram protocols.

Network Time Protocol (NTP) is a networking protocol for clock synchronization between computer systems over packet-switched, variable-latency data networks.

Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) is a networking protocol that provides centralized Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA or Triple A) management for users who connect and use a network service.

Transport Layer Security (TLS) and its predecessor, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), both frequently referred to as "SSL", are cryptographic protocols that provide communications security over a computer network.

Diameter is an authentication, authorization, and accounting protocol for computer networks.

SDES (Session Description Protocol Security Descriptions) for Media Streams and is a way to negotiate the key for Secure Real-time Transport Protocol.

WAP Binary XML (WBXML) is a binary representation of XML.

The Character Generator Protocol (CHARGEN) is a service of the Internet Protocol Suite defined in in 1983 by Jon Postel.

Wide Area Information Server (WAIS) is a client–server text searching system that uses the ANSI Standard Z39.

The DCE Distributed File System (DCE/DFS) is the remote file access protocol used with the Distributed Computing Environment.
