A rule set that is applied to a network that allows communication between multiple devices. Rules for data transmission
An example is Ip - Internet Protocol.
Network protocols are divided into layers - A layer is a group of protocols which have similiar functions. They seperate protocols into relevent groups, makes it easier to use. A division of network functionality. Using layers allows people to focus on one part of the network when developing for it. A layer can be edited and it wont affect other one..

- If a device fails, the rest arent affected
- Data will not collide as often
- Signal only sent to computers that request data
