Study Notes
Application Layer Overview
- The Application Layer is the top layer of the OSI model, enabling user-friendly network access.
- It directly interacts with applications, providing essential web services and communication functionalities.
- Key function includes facilitating data manipulation, enhancing user application experiences.
Application Layer Protocols
- Protocols at the Application Layer govern communication and data sharing between software applications across network devices.
- They establish rules and standards for efficient application interaction over networks.
TELNET
- Stands for TELetype NETwork, used for terminal emulation, accessing Telnet server resources.
- Commonly utilized for managing files on the Internet and initializing devices like switches.
- Operates on port 23.
FTP (File Transfer Protocol)
- Protocol and program facilitating reliable file transfers between machines.
- Encourages efficient file sharing via remote computers.
- Port number: Data transfers on port 20, control commands on port 21.
TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol)
- A simplified version of FTP for straightforward file transfers.
- Ideal for users who know specific file locations.
- Operates on port 69.
NFS (Network File System)
- Enables remote hosts to mount and interact with remote file systems as if local.
- Allows consolidation of resources on centralized network servers for system administrators.
- Operates on port 2049.
SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol)
- Part of the TCP/IP protocol suite, responsible for email transmission through "store and forward" process.
- Works with Mail Transfer Agents (MTA) to deliver emails effectively.
- Operates on port 25.
LPD (Line Printer Daemon)
- Designed for printer sharing, processing print requests from clients.
- Functions as a server in the printing ecosystem.
- Operates on port 515.
X Window
- Defines a protocol for developing graphical user interface client/server applications.
- Allows client programs to run on one computer while utilizing network resources.
- Port range starts from 6000, incrementing by one for each server.
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol)
- Gathers data from network devices, allowing for status disclosures through polling.
- Facilitates server information sharing and administrative configurations.
- Operates on port 161 (TCP) and 162 (UDP).
DNS (Domain Name System)
- Translates domain names into corresponding IP addresses, essential for accessing web services and resources.
