Huh? Ever heard of the internet? The only reason that it works is because the
protocols are standardised!
I for example have two nice tools in mind:
One for transferring files
One for sending messages to other people
How would the receiving computer know to which program to send the incoming
data if there was no standard way for doing so?
How would the receiving computer know to pass on some data to another
computer if there was no standard way for doing so?
Having no standard protocol is fine as long as all computers are playing the
same game. Then you can use a proprietary protocol. But as soon as you have a
ring with for example four computers, called A, B, C and D, and computer A
wants to send a file to computer C while computer B wants to send a message
to computer D you do have a big problem if there is no standard protocol.
It's just a thought...
Kind regards,
