Objectives
Define the application layer as the source and
destination of data for communication across
networks.
Explain the role of protocols in supporting
communication between server and client
processes.
Describe the features, operation, and use of
well-known TCP/IP application layer services
(HTTP, DNS, SMTP).
2
Applications – The Interface Between
Human and Data Networks
Explain that applications provide the means for generating and
receiving data that can be transported on the network
3
Applications – The Interface Between
Human and Data Networks
Explain the role of applications, services and protocols in
converting communication to data that can be transferred across
the data network
4
Applications – The Interface Between
Human and Data Networks
Define the separate roles applications, services and protocols play
in transporting data through networks
5
Applications – The Interface Between
Human and Data Networks
Describe the role protocols play in networking and be able to
identify several message properties that can be defined by a
protocol
