What is meant by Asymmetrical protocols?

In the context of Network Communication, here is a comparison between Symmetric Protocols and Asymmetric Protocols:

Symmetric Protocols:

The protocol involves communication between networkentities. This means that each side of the communication musthave the same protocol installed to operate a successfulcommunication between both entities. Most of the protocolsare symmetric.

So let us say A and B need to communicate between each other using Symmetric Protocol then A and B must have that protocol installed.

Asymmetric Protocol :

The protocol only operates on one side of the communication between network entities. So for the Asymmetric Protocol to operate successfully all the information required forreassembly must be contained in the fragmentation headersent with each fragment or the other side will never figure howto reassemble that protocol.

So let us say A and B need to communicate between each other using Asymmetric Protocol then only one side A or Bmust have that protocol installed.

And you guys must be careful not to mix these definitions together:
