In VERY VERY simple terms:  protocol is nothing more than a specified way of
soing something.   PPP and SLIP describe to a programmer a way of connecting =

other computers.  the TCP, UDP and IP talk tell us ways of getting sending
information back and forth... etc.

the best place to start would be in a general networking book... don't have a
title, though.
