List of network protocols
This is a list of network protocols, categorized by their nearest Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model layers. Many of these protocols, however, are originally based on the Internet Protocol Suite (TCP/IP) and other models and they often do not fit neatly into OSI layers.
