I have a friend who is reading up on network protocols.  He
has asked my what something means he has read and it seems
people are just supposed to know what they are talking about.
It is in referance to a "protocol stack."  Like talking about
converting from one protocol stack top another, or maybe
about how routers implement a protocol stack.  He theorizes
they might be talking about something like the OSI layer
model.  I couldn't think of anything else it might be.
Someone on here must know, since it's assumed to be widely
known.

I don't read this group so if you could email it, that
would be appreciated.
