In computer networking, a network service is an application running at the network application


layer and above, that provides data storage, manipulation, presentation, communication or other
capability which is often implemented using a client-server or peer-to-peer architecture based on
application layer network protocols.[1]
Each service is usually provided by a server component running on one or more computers (often a
dedicated server computer offering multiple services) and accessed via a network by client
components running on other devices. However, the client and server components can both be run
on the same machine.
Clients and servers will often have a user interface, and sometimes other hardware associated with
it.
