The document discusses application layer functionality and protocols. It defines the application layer as the source and destination of data across networks. It explains how applications, services, and protocols allow the conversion of communication to network-transferable data. Specifically, it describes several commonly used TCP/IP application layer protocols like HTTP, DNS, SMTP, and their roles in supporting functions such as web pages, email, and file sharing.
2. 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).
3. 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
4. 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
5. Applications The Interface Between Human and Data Networks Define the separate roles applications, services and protocols play in transporting data through networks
6. 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
7. The Role of Protocols in Supporting Communication Describe the roles of client and server processes in data networks
8. The Role of Protocols in Supporting Communication List common Application Layers services and protocols
9. The Role of Protocols in Supporting Communication Compare and contrast client server networking with peer-to-peer networking and peer-to-peer applications
10. Features, Operation, and Use of TCP/IP Application Layer Services Describe the features of the DNS protocol and how this protocol supports DNS services
11. Features, Operation, and Use of TCP/IP Application Layer Services Describe the features of the HTTP protocol and how this protocol supports the delivery of web pages to the client
12. Features, Operation, and Use of TCP/IP Application Layer Services Describe the features of the POP and SMTP protocols, and how these protocols support e-mail services
13. Features, Operation, and Use of TCP/IP Application Layer Services Describe the features of the Telnet protocol and identify several of its uses in examining and managing networks
14. Features, Operation, and Use of TCP/IP Application Layer Services Describe the features of the SMB protocol and the role it plays in supporting file sharing in Microsoft-based networks
15. Features, Operation, and Use of TCP/IP Application Layer Services Describe the features of the Gnutella protocol and the role it plays in supporting P2P services
