Links: IANA: Protocol registries.

A communication protocol is a set of rules and message formats that entities must follow to exchange those messages.

OSI reference model.
ISO formulated the OSI model which consists of seven layers of specified protocol standards for network communications software. The OSI model has come to be the de facto organizational model for describing protocol layering. The layers in the model are:

LayerDescription
7Application.
6Presentation.
5Session.
4Transport.
3Network.
2Data Link.
1Physical.

Glossary:

Application Layer.
Layer seven of the OSI model. This layer is responsible for managing communications between user applications.

Data Link Layer.
Layer two of the OSI model. Responsible for packing the data from the physical layer into frames. This layer can detect and/or correct errors and manages the data flow between nodes.

Network Layer.
Layer three of the OSI model. This layer is responsible for routing data between nodes.

Physical Layer.
Layer one of the OSI model. Defines the electrical and mechanical specifications of the transmission medium and the interface hardware. Additionally, it describes the method for how data is sent and received on the medium.

Presentation Layer.
Layer six of the OSI model. This layer is responsible for data representation translation between nodes. Encryption and compression protocols are usually categorized here.

Session Layer.
Layer five of the OSI model. This layer is responsible for establishing, synchronizing and maintaining communications channels between nodes.

Transport Layer.
Layer four of the OSI model. This layer is responsible for reliable data transmission between nodes.
