Answer :-
Bit Oriented Protocol - In this any field can be an arbitrary number of bits long. So if the field only needs 64 possible values, it can be only 6 bits long. They are typically used in hardware where bandwidth is an important consideration. This will allow tighter packing of data.
Byte Oriented Protocol - In this field upto 8 bits is allocated 1 byte. Fields upto 8-16 bits is given double byte. There are typically used in softwares as it is easy to process them. This will be loose packing of data compare to bit oriented protocol.
