What are proprietary protocols?
- protocols that can be freely used by any organization or vendor
- protocols developed by private organizations to operate on any vendor hardware
- a collection of protocols known as the TCP/IP protocol suite
- protocols developed by organizations who have control over their definition and operation
| Explanation:
Proprietary protocols have their definition and operation controlled by one company or vendor. Some of them can be used by different organizations with permission from the owner. The TCP/IP protocol suite is an open standard, not a proprietary protocol. |
