This is an incomplete list of network protocols, categorized by their nearest OSI model layers. Many of these protocols, however, are originally based on the Internet Protocol Suite (TCP/IP) and other models and often do not fit neatly into OSI layers.

7 Application Layer
6 Presentation Layer
5 Session Layer
4 Transport Layer
3 Network Layer
2 Data Link Layer
