    Study Notes

    Application Layer Overview

    • Application layer (TCP/IP Model) combines OSI Layers 5 (Session), 6 (Presentation), and 7 (Application).
    • Provides network services for applications (web browsing, file transfers, email, DNS resolution, dynamic addressing, file/printer sharing, etc.).
    • Manages data format and processes for client/server or peer-to-peer communication.

    Presentation and Session Layers

    • Presentation Layer (OSI Layer 6):
      • Formats and displays data (text, images, audio, video) for applications.
      • Handles encryption/decryption, compression/decompression, and file formats (JPEG, MPEG, GIF, PNG).
    • Session Layer (OSI Layer 5):
      • Manages communication sessions between devices (establishing, maintaining, terminating connections).
      • Included within the TCP/IP application layer.

    Client-Server vs. Peer-to-Peer Models

    • Client-Server:
      • Dedicated servers provide resources/services.
      • Clients request services.
      • Servers listen on well-known ports (e.g., 80 for HTTP).
    • Peer-to-Peer:
      • No dedicated server. Each device can be a client and a server.
      • Examples: home networks, file sharing P2P.
      • Each peer runs an application for uploading/downloading data.

    Common Application Layer Protocols

    • Web and HTTP:
      • HTTP (port 80): Request/response protocol for web content (HTML).
      • HTTPS (port 443): Secure HTTP using TLS/SSL.
      • HTTP message types:
        • GET: Client requests data
        • POST/PUT: Uploads data (web forms, files).
    • Email Protocols:
      • SMTP (port 25): Sends email (client-to-server or server-to-server).
      • POP3 (port 110): Basic email receiving; downloads and typically deletes mail from the server.
      • IMAP (port 143): Advanced email receiving; keeps mail on server, syncs folders.
    • DNS (port 53):
      • Translates domain names (www.cisco.com) to IP addresses.
      • Resource Records (RR):
        • A: IPv4 address
        • AAAA: IPv6 address
        • NS: Authoritative name server
        • MX: Mail exchange record
      • nslookup: Tool to query DNS servers manually.
    • DHCP:
      • DHCPv4 (ports 67/68): Auto-assigns IPv4 addresses, gateway, DNS.
      • DHCPv6: Auto-assigns IPv6 addresses; default gateway from router's RA message.
    • File Transfer:
      • FTP (ports 20/data, 21/control): Two connections for large file transfer.
      • TFTP (port 69): Connectionless, simple FTP. Often used for device configs/images.
      • SMB (port 445): Microsoft file/printer sharing; maps network drives.

    Key Takeaways

    • TCP/IP Application Layer combines OSI Layers 5-7.
    • Various protocols support network communication (HTTP, DNS, DHCP, FTP, SMTP, etc.).
    • Client-Server vs. Peer-to-Peer models exist.
    • Client-Server: Centralized servers respond to client requests.
    • Peer-to-Peer: Each device can act as a client and server.
    • DNS and DHCP are vital networking infrastructure.
    • Application layer protocols cover email (SMTP/POP/IMAP), file transfer/sharing (FTP/SMB), and web browsing (HTTP/HTTPS).
