Protocol, in computer science, a set of rules or procedures for transmitting data between electronic devices, such as computers. In order for computers to exchange information, there must be a preexisting agreement as to how the information will be structured and how each side will send and receive it.

Protocols are a way for one computer to request information from another and understand its response. For the most part, protocols are well-documented command strings and ranges of valid responses.
