For example, sources for Turkey state a military strength from 410,500 to 664,049 (the latter figure would have put Turkey in the top 10).

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.
Finally, protocol can be used to mean âa set of rules used in programming computers so that they can communicate with each other,â such as an Internet protocol. If you are familiar with VOIP, a new kind of phone service, the letters in this acronym stand for Voice Over Internet Protocol.
