Study Notes
Application Layer
- The application layer is the interface between applications used to communicate
- Comprises two important parts: the service and the protocol
Service
- Refers to the function performed by the protocol
Protocol
- Refers to the rules used to provide the service functionality
Protocols Used at the Application Layer
- HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol): enables exchange of data between a client and a server
- HTTPS: a secure communication protocol for accessing or posting web server information
- FTP (File Transfer Protocol): used for transferring files between a client and a server
- SMTP: used for exchanging email messages between servers
-
Mail Access Protocols:
- POP (Post Office Protocol): retrieves data from a server for the receiver to read
- IMAP (Internet Mail Access Protocol): retrieves data from a server for the receiver to read
- Telnet: provides virtual remote control
