Chapter 7. The Application Layer
Having finished all the preliminaries, we now come to the layer where all the applications are found. The layers below the application layer are there to provide reliable transport, but they do not do real work for users. In this chapter we will study some real network applications.However, even in the application layer there is a need for support protocols, to allow the applications to function. Accordingly, we will look at one of these before starting with the applications themselves. The item in question is DNS, which handles naming within the Internet. After that, we will examine three real applications: electronic mail, the World Wide Web, and finally, multimedia. |
