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 to 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.
