protocol n. as used by hackers, this never refers to niceties about the
   proper form for addressing letters to the papal nuncio or the order in
   which one should use the forks in a russian-style place setting; hackers
   don't care about such things. it is used instead to describe any set of
   rules that allow different machines or pieces of software to coordinate
   with each other without ambiguity. so, for example, it does include
   niceties about the proper form for addressing packets on a network or
   the order in which one should use the forks in the dining philosophers
   problem. it implies that there is some common message format and an
   accepted set of primitives or commands that all parties involved
   understand, and that transactions among them follow predictable logical
   sequences. see also handshaking, do protocol.

protocol
     
        a set of formal rules describing how to transmit data,
        especially across a network.  low level protocols define the
        electrical and physical standards to be observed, bit- and
        byte-ordering and the transmission and error detection and
        correction of the bit stream.  high level protocols deal with
        the data formatting, including the syntax of messages, the
        terminal to computer dialogue, character sets, sequencing of
        messages etc.
     
        many protocols are defined by rfcs or by osi.
