Application Layer (TCP/IP)
Application Layer (TCP/IP)
The Application layer in the TCP/IP model combines the Session, Presentation, and Application layers of the OSI model. It handles user-facing applications and protocols like HTTP, FTP, and DNS.
HTTP
HTTP
HTTP is the standard protocol for browsing web pages without encryption. It operates on port 80.
HTTPS
HTTPS
HTTPS offers secure web browsing via SSL/TLS encryption, commonly used for online banking and sensitive information transfer. It operates on port 443.
SMTP

Study Notes
OSI and TCP/IP Models
- The Physical layer (Layer 1) handles the physical connections (e.g., cables, switches) and signal transmission (electrical, optical, or radio). Examples include Ethernet cables and fiber optics.
- The Data Link layer (Layer 2) ensures error-free data transfer between devices on the same network. It manages MAC addresses and frames. Examples include switches and Network Interface Cards (NICs).
- The Network layer (Layer 3) manages routing, logical addressing (IP), and packet forwarding between networks. Examples include routers and IP addresses.
- The Transport layer (Layer 4) ensures reliable data delivery, using protocols like TCP for guaranteed delivery and UDP for faster but potentially unreliable transfer. Examples include TCP and UDP.
- The Session layer (Layer 5) manages communication sessions, including initiation, maintenance, and termination, between devices. Examples include authentication protocols.
- The Presentation layer (Layer 6) translates data into a format understood by the application, e.g., encryption, compression. Examples include SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption and TLS (Transport Layer Security).
- The Application layer (Layer 7) interfaces with user applications for data transfer (e.g., HTTP, FTP, DNS). Examples include web browsers and email clients.
TCP/IP Model
- The TCP/IP model combines layers 1 and 2 of the OSI model into a single Network Interface layer.
- The Internet layer is equivalent to OSI layer 3, managing IP addressing and routing.
- The Transport layer matches OSI Layer 4, handling communication using TCP or UDP protocols.
- The Application layer incorporates OSI layers 5, 6, and 7, handling user-facing applications and protocols like HTTP, FTP, and DNS.
Common Ports and Protocols
- Port 80 is used for standard HTTP web browsing.
- Port 443 is used for secure HTTPS web browsing.
- Port 25 is used for SMTP email transmission.
- Ports 20/21 are used for FTP file transfer.
- Port 53 is used for DNS to resolve domain names to IP addresses.
Device Layer Mapping
- A switch operates at Layer 2 (Data Link).
- A router operates at Layer 3 (Network).
- A Network Interface Card operates at Layers 1 and 2 (Physical and Data Link).
