1 00:00:00,930 --> 00:00:04,350 ‫And finally, we're in the application layer. 2 00:00:05,180 --> 00:00:10,730 ‫Now, if you remember, I mentioned before for the ease of use, the last three layers session layer, 3 00:00:10,730 --> 00:00:16,700 ‫presentation layer and application layer are thought of together as the application layer. 4 00:00:17,270 --> 00:00:22,430 ‫As you know, these three layers are already a single layer in the TCP IP reference model. 5 00:00:23,940 --> 00:00:29,850 ‫So the application layer contains the communications protocols and interface methods used in process 6 00:00:30,030 --> 00:00:34,350 ‫to process communications across an internet protocol computer network. 7 00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:41,310 ‫The application layer only standardizes communication and depends upon the underlying transport layer 8 00:00:41,310 --> 00:00:47,400 ‫protocols to establish host to host data transfer channels and manage the data exchange in a client 9 00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:49,740 ‫server or peer to peer networking model. 10 00:00:50,820 --> 00:00:54,480 ‫So let's have a look at some important protocols of the application layer.
