Protocol

       A protocol is a set of rules for communication.
       In the real world we have a protocol for how people communicate with mail - a mail protocol. You write a letter, throw it in the mail box, the postal service will sort and transport, a mailman delivers, and at the other end the letter is read. An answer is made the same way.
