第一小节:
现在我们已经有了一些互联网的知识,让我们考虑另一个计算机网络中最重要的流行词:协议
什么是协议?协议是做什么的?
- It is probably easiest to understand the notion(n. 概念) of a computer network protocol byfirst considering some human analogies(n. 类似), since we humans execute protocols all ofthe time. Consider what you do when you want to ask someone for the time of day.Atypical exchange is shown in Figure 1.2. Human protocol (or good manners, atleast至少) dictates(要求) that one first offer a greeting(n.问候) (the first “Hi” in Figure 1.2) to initiate(vt. 开始) communication with someone else
首先考虑一些人类类似于协议的想法,能容易理解计算机网络协议的概念,
因为我们人类一直在执行这种协议。考虑一下,当你想问候某人的时候,你会做什么。
非典型的交换情况如图1.2所示。人类协议(最基本的礼貌)要求,用户首先表示问候(图1.2中的“Hi”),开始与他人进行初始交流
