I have shared a small brief of categories for networking protocols based on OSI model reference. This is not the only list rather it is just a scratch on the surface. But this will help you in troubleshooting a networking component or any application.

SSL/TLS handle encryption, compression and encoding. This protocol can be placed in session layer too since its respinsible for session setup, handshake, key negotiation and stateful connections.
For detail reference I always recommend to check RFC.
