Network protocols are standard methods of transferring data between two computers in a network. 1. HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) HTTP is a protocol for fetching resources such as HTML documents. It is the foundation of any data exchange on the Web and it is a client-server protocol. 2. HTTP/3 HTTP/3 is the next major revision of the HTTP. It runs on QUIC, a new transport protocol designed for mobile-heavy internet usage. It relies on UDP instead of TCP, which enables faster web page responsiveness. VR applications demand more bandwidth to render intricate details of a virtual scene and will likely benefit from migrating to HTTP/3 powered by QUIC. 3. HTTPS (HyperText Transfer Protocol Secure) HTTPS extends HTTP and uses encryption for secure communications. 4. WebSocket WebSocket is a protocol that provides full-duplex communications over TCP. Clients establish WebSockets to receive real-time updates from the back-end services. Unlike REST, which always “pulls” data, W
