-Example on Internet

For example, when a user using AOL sends an email, they EXPECT that even if the receiver uses hotmail, the email will arrive, and it does. Hotmail, AOL, and all other email providers must have agreed on a way to send and receive email. That way is a protocol. Specifically, SMTP (http://www.washington.edu/computing/email/smtp.html)
