What (who) is protocol stack - definition
Protocol stack
IMPLEMENTATION OF A COMPUTER NETWORKING PROTOCOL SUITE
Protocol suite; Network stack; Network protocol stack; Protocol suites; Protocol hierarchy; Communications stack; Networking stack; Layered protocol; Protocol family; Signalling stack; Protocol layering; Spanning Layer; Spanning layer
The protocol stack or network stack is an implementation of a computer networking protocol suite or protocol family. Some of these terms are used interchangeably but strictly speaking, the suite is the definition of the communication protocols, and the stack is the software implementation of them.

Protocol suite; Network stack; Network protocol stack; Protocol suites; Protocol hierarchy; Communications stack; Networking stack; Layered protocol; Protocol family; Signalling stack; Protocol layering; Spanning Layer; Spanning layer
<protocol> A layered set of protocols which work together to
provide a set of network functions. Each intermediate
protocol layer uses the layer below it to provide a service
to the layer above.
The OSI seven layer model is an attempt to provide a
standard framework within which to describe protocol stacks.

In computer science, a call stack is a stack data structure that stores information about the active subroutines of a computer program. This kind of stack is also known as an execution stack, program stack, control stack, run-time stack, or machine stack, and is often shortened to just "the stack".
