Many newer, more secure and more modern forms exist, including secure shell (SSH) and Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) DNSDomain Name Service = Server-based service that translates human language Web address or URL into an IP address, which is used.LDAPLightweight Directory Access Protocol = Created by the International Telecommunications Union; a standardized protocol that defines the organization of a set of directory records, such as groups, individual names, and attributes that are associated with them. Many applications use the LDAP standard. The most used example is Microsoft Outlookâs global address list and Microsoft Active Directory URLUniform Resource Locator is a protocol used by a client computer to request a website from a server via HTTP or HTTPS SynchronousCommunication occurs in real time, with their client using online chat or instant messaging AsynchronousCommunication occurs at different times via bulletin boards, blogs, and streaming videos
