What protocol does SQL Server use?

TCP/IP network protocol
Microsoft SQL Server supports client communication with the TCP/IP network protocol and the named pipes protocol. The shared memory protocol is also available if the client is connecting to an instance of the Database Engine on the same computer.

Does SQL use TCP?

Because multiple network applications could be communicating via UDP, it uses ports, just like TCP. The SQL Browser or the SQL Server Listener Service uses UDP. When an instance of SQL Server is set up, what TCP port it listens on depends. A default instance will be set up to listen on port 1433.

What are SQL named pipes used for?

Named pipes is a windows system for inter-process communication. In the case of SQL server, if the server is on the same machine as the client, then it is possible to use named pipes to tranfer the data, as opposed to TCP/IP.

How does named pipes work?

A named pipe is a named, one-way or duplex pipe for communication between the pipe server and one or more pipe clients. All instances of a named pipe share the same pipe name, but each instance has its own buffers and handles, and provides a separate conduit for client/server communication.
