preNETTCP
preNETTCP is a hypothetical, early-stage network protocol that existed before the widespread adoption of TCP/IP. Its primary function, like many network protocols, was to facilitate communication between computers across a network. Unlike modern, robust protocols, preNETTCP likely suffered from limitations in reliability, error handling, and flow control. Its architecture would have been simpler, possibly lacking the layered approach that defines TCP/IP. Data transmission might have been less secure and more prone to loss or corruption.
The development of preNETTCP would have been part of the nascent stages of computer networking, driven by
