TCP is used extensively by many internet applications, including the World Wide Web (WWW), email, File Transfer Protocol, Secure Shell, peer-to-peer file sharing, and streaming media.
Network address translation
6 linksMethod of mapping an IP address space into another by modifying network address information in the IP header of packets while they are in transit across a traffic routing device.

Some protocols can accommodate one instance of NAT between participating hosts ("passive mode" FTP, for example), sometimes with the assistance of an application-level gateway (see below), but fail when both systems are separated from the internet by NAT.
Communication protocol
5 linksSystem of rules that allows two or more entities of a communications system to transmit information via any kind of variation of a physical quantity.
System of rules that allows two or more entities of a communications system to transmit information via any kind of variation of a physical quantity.
Examples of protocols that use plain, human-readable text for its commands are FTP (File Transfer Protocol), SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol), and the finger protocol.
Transport Layer Security
6 linksCryptographic protocol designed to provide communications security over a computer network.
Cryptographic protocol designed to provide communications security over a computer network.
In applications design, TLS is usually implemented on top of Transport Layer protocols, encrypting all of the protocol-related data of protocols such as HTTP, FTP, SMTP, NNTP and XMPP.
Internet protocol suite
6 linksSet of communication protocols used in the Internet and similar computer networks.
Set of communication protocols used in the Internet and similar computer networks.
Examples of application layer protocols include the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), the File Transfer Protocol (FTP), the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP), and the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).
Application layer
3 linksAbstraction layer that specifies the shared communications protocols and interface methods used by hosts in a communications network.

Simple Mail Transfer Protocol
4 linksInternet standard communication protocol for electronic mail transmission.
Internet standard communication protocol for electronic mail transmission.
The use of the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) for "network mail" on the ARPANET was proposed in RFC 469 in March 1973.
FTPS
3 linksFTPS (also known FTP-SSL, and FTP Secure) is an extension to the commonly used File Transfer Protocol (FTP) that adds support for the Transport Layer Security (TLS) and, formerly, the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL, which is now prohibited by RFC7568) cryptographic protocols.

By Christmas 1990, Berners-Lee had built all the tools necessary for a working Web: the HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) 0.9, the HyperText Markup Language (HTML), the first Web browser (which was also a HTML editor and could access Usenet newsgroups and FTP files), the first HTTP server software (later known as CERN httpd), the first web server, and the first Web pages that described the project itself.

Network services include offerings such as file sharing, print services, email, web sites, and file transfer protocols (FTP), most of which can have compromised security.
