- Specifies how data is transmitted
IP addresses → unique identifiers for machines, similar to phone numbers
- IPv4 - 4 chunks of numbers from
  - IE: 192.168.1.1 or 127.0.0.1
- IPv6 - 6 chunks of hexadecimal data
  - IE: 2001:0000:130F:0000:0000:09C0:876A:130B
HTTP → Hypertext Transmission Protocol
HTTPs → Hypertext Transmission Protocol Secured
FTP → File Transfer Protocol
