Network Protocol
A protocol defines the format and the order of messages exchanged
between two or more communicating entities, as well as the actions
taken on the transmission and/or receipt of a message.
A network protocol is similar to a human protocol, except that
the entities exchanging messages and taking actions are hardware
or software components of a computer network.

Network Edge
In computer networking jargon, the computers that we use on a daily basis
are often referred to as or hosts or end systems. They are referred to as
"hosts" because they host (run) application-level programs such as a Web
browser or server program, or an e-mail program.
They are also referred to as "end systems" because they sit at the "edge"
of the Internet.
