PROTOCOLS:  
Protocols are the communications standards agreed upon by network control associations. Some of the older protocols are ....see fig A. below.
OSI:  Standards established by a special commission to provide more compatability between networks.  Real networks are connected on various levels, so this set of protocols provide connectivity on physical levels and software connected levels.   ....see fig A. below.

COMPANY	PROTOCOL	MNG 	RATING		ALLOG/PURPOSE
UNIX-Berk.	RIP			-		15 router lim.	uses belman-Ford/dist. vector
--			TCP/IP		SNMP	-			IP-for routing datagrams
			"			"		-			Uses SLIP/PPP encapsulator
Zerox		IPX (XNS)	-			network lev.	connectionless
Novell		/SPX					transport lev.	connection
Novell		OSI			CMOT			-			
			SLIP					ok			datagrams encapsulator 		
			PPP					better			datagrams encapsulator
			OSPF				even better		uses link-state & shortest path
			NWLINK				like ipx/spx
			ADSL
			ISDN	
			FDDI
