Summary of “Functions of Application Layer | Application layer of OSI model in Hindi”

The OSI model consists of 7 layers:
- Application, Presentation, Session, Transport, Network, Data Link, Physical.
The TCP/IP model has 4 layers:
- Application, Transport, Internet, Network Access.
TCP/IP combines OSI’s Application, Presentation, and Session layers into a single Application layer.
TCP/IP also merges OSI’s Data Link and Physical layers into the Network Access layer.
Both models serve similar functions and protocols, but:
- OSI is theoretical.
- TCP/IP is practical and widely used.

Acts as an interface between users and the internet.
Combines functionalities of OSI’s Application, Presentation, and Session layers:
- Application Layer: Connects users to the internet.
- Presentation Layer: Handles data formatting, translation, encryption/decryption, compression/decompression to ensure data is understandable.
- Session Layer: Manages sessions between sender and receiver — establishes, maintains, and terminates sessions during data transfer.

DNS (Domain Name System):
- Maps domain names (e.g., facebook.com) to IP addresses.
- Uses TCP/UDP port 53.
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol):
- Automatically assigns IP addresses to devices.
- Uses UDP ports 67 (server) and 68 (client).
- Replaced BOOTP.
Email Protocols:
- SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol): For sending emails, uses TCP port 25.
- POP (Post Office Protocol): For receiving emails.
- IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol): For managing and storing emails on the server.
File Transfer Protocols:
- FTP (File Transfer Protocol): Uses TCP ports 20 (control) and 21 (data).
- TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol): Uses UDP port 69; connectionless, faster but less reliable.
HTTP/HTTPS:
- HTTP uses TCP port 80 for web browsing.
- HTTPS (secure HTTP) uses TCP port 443 with encryption for security.

Client: Requests services.
Server: Provides services.
Communication is request-response based.
Servers usually have higher processing power and RAM to handle multiple requests.
Multiple servers can exist in a network.
The role of client or server depends on the software installed, not the physical device.

OSI vs TCP/IP Model Layers:
- OSI: 7 layers.
- TCP/IP: 4 layers (Application combines OSI’s Application, Presentation, Session).
- Network Access layer combines OSI’s Data Link and Physical layers.
Application Layer Functions:
- Interface between user and internet.
- Data formatting and translation.
- Encryption and decryption.
- Compression and decompression.
- Session management (establish, maintain, terminate).
Protocols and Their Functions:
- DNS: Domain name to IP mapping, port 53.
- DHCP: Dynamic IP allocation, ports 67/68.
- SMTP: Sending emails, port 25.
- POP & IMAP: Receiving and managing emails.
- FTP: File transfer, ports 20 and 21.
- TFTP: Fast file transfer, UDP port 69.
- HTTP: Web browsing, port 80.
- HTTPS: Secure web browsing, port 443.
Client-Server Model:
- Client requests services.
- Server provides services.
- Server devices have more resources.
- Multiple servers can exist in one network.
- Role depends on software, not physical device.
Peer-to-Peer Model:
- Devices act as both client and server.
- Used in small networks.
- Not common in large networks.
- Devices are called peers.
