In computer networking, the term lower layer protocol (LLP) refers to a more specific protocol when performing encapsulation.

The term contrasts with upper layer protocol which refers to a more abstract protocol.

In the internet protocol suite, IP is the lower layer protocol to UDP and TCP; likewise UDP and TCP are two upper layer protocols for IP.
