What are the different types of protocol families?

Protocol families refer to the different categories of protocols that govern communication between devices within a network. Some common types of protocol families include Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), which is widely used for communication over the internet; User Datagram Protocol (UDP), which is commonly used for streaming and real-time applications; Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP), which is used for network diagnostics and management; and Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), which is used for web browsing. Each protocol family has its own set of rules and functions to ensure reliable and efficient communication between devices.
