Rules 1

Ethernet and Wi-Fi: Wired stability and wireless mobility have trade-offs
Bluetooth: Short-range wireless links suit nearby devices
Encryption: Convert readable data using a key
IP addresses: Logical addresses support network routing

Rules 2

MAC addresses: Interface identifiers support local delivery
Standards and protocols: Shared rules enable interoperability
TCP and IP: Delivery management and routing cooperate
HTTP and HTTPS: Web requests can use encrypted transport

Rules 3

FTP and email protocols: Different services need different rules
Protocol layers: Separate responsibilities reduce dependence

Connections

Rules 1 → Rules 2: Connection choice and encryption affect delivery and confidentiality.
Rules 2 → Rules 3: Addresses locate endpoints; protocols define how services exchange data.
