A protocol is a set of rules that regulate how data is exchanged or transmitted
between devices.
Bandwidth - transmission capacity by bit rate
Latency - the amount of time it takes for a bit to travel from its transmitter to its
receiver.
ASCII - American Standard Code for Information Interchange - ANSWER is
