Difference between protocol and interface:

Interface:

  • An interface refers to the connecting point between two adjacent entities. A network interface is the point of interconnection between a computer and a private or public network.
  • A network interface is generally a 'network interface card (NIC)', but does not have to have a physical form.

Protocol:

  • A protocol defines rules to be complied with for exchanging information on the connecting point.
  • A 'network protocol' defines rules and conventions for communication between 'network devices'
