 [No title]
It is a generic, stateless, protocol which can be used for many tasks beyond its use for hypertext, such as name servers and distributed object management systems, through extension of its request methods, error codes and headers [47].
The protocol versioning policy is intended to allow the sender to indicate the format of a message and its capacity for understanding further HTTP communication, rather than the features obtained via that communication.
Since the protocol version indicates the protocol capability of the sender, a proxy/gateway MUST NOT send a message with a version indicator which is greater than its actual version.

 Communications protocol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An example of a simple communications protocol adapted to voice communication is the case of a radio dispatcher talking to mobile stations.
Protocol layering accomplishes these objectives by dividing the protocol design into a number of smaller parts, each of which performs closely related sub-tasks, and interacts with other layers of the protocol only in a small number of well-defined ways.
Protocol layering allows the parts of a protocol to be designed and tested without a combinatorial explosion of cases, keeping each design relatively simple.

 Transmission Control Protocol - Open Encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is a connection-oriented, reliable delivery byte-stream transport layer communication protocol, currently documented in IETF RFC 793 [1].
Applications send streams of 8-bit bytes to TCP for delivery through the network, and TCP divides the byte stream into appropriately sized segments (usually delineated by the maximum transmission unit (MTU) size of the data link layer of the network the computer is attached to).
In many cases, the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) may be used in place of TCP when just application multiplexing services are required.

 International Convention on Civil Liability for Oil Pollution Damage (CLC), 1969   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
The 1984 Protocol set increased limits of liability, but it gradually became clear that the Protocol would never secure the acceptance required for entry into force and it was superseded by the 1992 version.
Under the 1992 Protocol, a shipowner cannot limit liability if it is proved that the pollution damage resulted from the shipowner's personal act or omission, committed with the intent to cause such damage, or recklessly and with knowledge that such damage would probably result.
From 16 May 1998, Parties to the 1992 Protocol ceased to be Parties to the 1969 CLC due to a mechanism for compulsory denunciation of the "old" regime established in the 1992 Protocol.

Protocols are normally defined in a layered manner and provide all or part of the services specified by a layer of the OSI reference model.
Protocols are usually implemented by writing a number of programs (processes) which communicate with one another through queues and by function calls.
Protocols are generally described using a layered architecture known as the OSI reference model.

 Trafficking in Human Beings
Essentially, the Protocol is intended to "prevent and combat" trafficking in persons and facilitate international cooperation against such trafficking.
Generally, developed countries to which persons are often trafficked have taken the position that there should not be a right to remain in their countries as this would provide an incentive both for trafficking and illegal migration.
Law enforcement agencies of countries that ratify the Protocol would be required to cooperate with such things as the identification of offenders and trafficked persons, sharing information about the methods of offenders and the training of investigators, enforcement and victim support personnel (Art.7).

 Protocol
A Protocol object corresponds to a protocol declaration in the Objective C language.
Because Protocol objects are built by the compiler, not by the application, and are part of the run-time system for the Objective C language, they play a slightly different role within an application that most other objects.
Simply using the protocol name in a type declaration isn't sufficient to cause a Protocol object to be created.

Although the protocol was never open, there have been several groups which have attempted to reverse-engineer it.
The Sametime protocol was originally published in draft form to the IETF as part of the IMPP working group.
Because TOC is not the official AIM protocol, and no official client has ever used TOC (with the exception of TiK), in addition to not keeping up with the official protocol in terms of functionality, TOC's usability has actually deteriorated since it was released.
