A protocol is an established set of rules for how something is done. In diplomacy, it is the rules of etiquette and precedence for state and diplomatic occasions. In treaties, it is an agreement that amends or supplements a treaty or international convention, such as the Kyoto Protocol. In science and medicine, it is the written plan for an experiment, a clinical trial or a course of treatment. In computing, it is the rules that let devices exchange data, such as TCP/IP and HTTP. The word comes from the Greek prōtokollon, the first sheet glued to a papyrus roll, describing its contents.
