1 00:00:00,930 --> 00:00:04,350 And finally, we're in the application layer. 2 00:00:05,180 --> 00:00:10,760 Now, if you remember, I mentioned before for the ease of use, the last three layers, session, layer, 3 00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:16,670 presentation layer and application layer are thought of together as the application layer. 4 00:00:17,240 --> 00:00:22,430 As you know, these three layers are already a single layer in the TCP IP reference model. 5 00:00:23,910 --> 00:00:29,880 So the application layer contains the communications protocols and interface methods used in process 6 00:00:30,030 --> 00:00:36,930 to process communications across an Internet protocol computer network, the application layer only 7 00:00:36,930 --> 00:00:43,270 standardizes communication and depends upon the underlying transport layer protocols to establish host 8 00:00:43,290 --> 00:00:49,470 to host data transfer channels and manage the data exchange in a client server or peer to peer networking 9 00:00:49,470 --> 00:00:49,750 model. 10 00:00:50,790 --> 00:00:54,510 So let's have a look at some important protocols of the application layer.
