Data Format
Protocols define the format of the data being exchanged, including the structure, encoding, and representation of the data. By specifying a common data format, protocols enable systems to understand and process data sent from other systems, regardless of their underlying technologies.
How do Communication Protocols Support Interoperability?
Communication Protocols support interoperability by defining a set of rules and conventions that govern how data is transmitted and received between different systems.
- Interoperability refers to the ability of different systems, devices, or software applications to communicate, exchange data, and use the information that has been exchanged.
- It is the capability of making systems work together, even if they are developed by different vendors, use different technologies, or are used in different environments.
Below is how the Communication Protocols achieve Interoperability:
