protocol stack
<protocol> A layered set of protocols which work together to provide a
set of network functions. Each intermediate protocol layer uses the layer below
it to provide a service to the layer above.
The OSI seven layer model is an attempt to provide a standard framework within
which to describe protocol stacks.
