Protocols are important for networking because they provide a set of rules and regulations that govern how devices communicate over a network. Protocols define the format, timing, sequencing and error control methods used to transmit data between computers, as well as the type of data (e.g. text, audio, video, etc.) that is allowed. Protocols allow for communication between different platforms and work to make sure that it occurs efficiently, reliably, and securely.
