Lower layer protocol

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In computer networking, the lower layer protocol (LLP) refers to the more specific protocol when performing encapsulation. It contrasts with upper layer protocol which refers to the more abstract protocol.

In the internet protocol suite, IP is the lower layer protocol to UDP and TCP; likewise UDP and TCP are two upper layer protocols for IP.
