    you can set parts of the protocol config, like odd/even parity and flow control.

    >So my question is Which protocol I am using?
    Probably your own protocol. outportb/inportb only write/read data provided to/by the desired port. It's upto each of the machines connected through the port to interpret the data present the way they want to. This interpretation is called the protocol. So, how are you making the machines talk? This is itself the protocol.
