Scheme vs. protocol

HTTPS (actually https:) is a URI scheme, not a protocol. The scheme describes a different protocol stack that includes SSL or TLS, but the protocol is no different. For that reason, might it be better to keep the distinction clear? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 47.153.233.240 (talk • contribs) 05:15, 29 August 2005.

Layers in the Internet Protocol stack

The above captioned section groups a lot of TCP/IP and non TCP/IP protocols in the OSI model. There should be something to identify the TCP/IP protocols from these, especially when the article does not provide a list of TCP/IP protocols anywhere else. RMehra 25 January 2006

Deleted ref

[1] was used as a ref in Internet protocol suite#Internet layer. It was commented out, "Now a nasty spam link. no archive available." Here is an archive. The ref does not support the material in the section so I have deleted it. ~Kvng (talk) 14:32, 30 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Non-standard caps

Previous discussion established a convention of capitalizing only the first word: Internet protocol suite. This is at odds with MOS:CAPS where a topic is either a proper noun or it isn't and is presented in title case or lowercase respectively. What we're presenting here is neither. ~Kvng (talk) 15:31, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
