That was supposed to say HTTP! HTTP, FTP, SMTP, POP and probably others, have yet another way of encoding control information. It's byte-oriented but a little different. And how about routing protocols? For example, how does EIGRP encode an Update opcode? Is it different from how HTTP, FTP, etc. send control info? And different from TCP? >What is FTP?
