Application Layer
The Application Layer is the top-most layer of the seven-layered OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) model.
Explanation of Specific Terms:
- OSI model: A conceptual framework used to understand and describe how network protocols and communication systems operate.
- Seven-layered: The OSI model is structured into seven distinct layers, each responsible for specific functions related to data communication and network operations.
- Top-most layer: Positioned at the highest level of the OSI model, the Application Layer interacts directly with end-users and provides network services and applications.
Key Points for Beginners:
- Why it's important: The Application Layer enables communication between software applications and end-users over a network, supporting functions such as email, web browsing, file transfer, and remote access.
- How it works: Applications at this layer use protocols like HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol), SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol), FTP (File Transfer Protocol), and others to exchange data and communicate with other devices or services across a network.
