Ethernet protocols define standards for network cabling / types of cabling used at the physical layer (1) and corresponding transmission speeds. (1) At the data link layer Ethernet protocols describe how network devices can format data for transmission (1) using frames / packets. (1)?
HTTP provides the set of rules / mutual understanding / defines how messages are formatted and transmitted (1) that enables the exchange of data between a client / browser and a web server. (1)?

Each layer of the TCP/IP model prepares data for transmission from one computer to another. (1)
Data is sent downwards from the application (application layer) (1)
through protocol stack to the physical media (physical layer). (1)
At each stage information is added to the packet such as destination address, source address, protocol, routing information, error correction. (1)
At the receiving computer the packet passes through the layers in reverse. (1)
?There are four layers in a simple TCP/IP model (Application layer, Transport layer, Network layer, Data link layer). (1)?
