    This document discusses several application layer protocols: DNS, SMTP, POP, FTP, and HTTP. It defines what an application layer protocol is, describing that it defines how application processes pass messages between end systems. It then provides more details on specific aspects of application layer protocols like message types, field syntax and semantics, and rules for sending and responding to messages. It also provides brief overviews of how some key protocols like DNS and SMTP function at a high level.

    Application Layer Protocols

    Application Layer Protocols
    DNS, SMTP, POP, FTP, HTTP

    An application layer protocol defines how application


    processes (clients and servers), running on different
    end systems, pass messages to each other.

    In particular, an application layer protocol defines:

    The types of messages, e.g., request messages and


    response messages.
    • The syntax of the various message types, i.e., the
    fields in the message and how the fields are
    delineated.

    • The semantics of the fields, i.e., the meaning of the


    information that the field is supposed to contain;

    • Rules for determining when and how a process


    sends messages and responds to messages.
    • To identify an entity, TCP/IP protocol uses the IP
    address which uniquely identifies the connection of
    a host to the Internet.

    • DNS is a hierarchical system, based on a distributed


    database, that uses a hierarchy of Name Servers to
    resolve Internet host names into the corresponding
    IP addresses required for packet routing by issuing a
    DNS query to a name server.
    • However, people refer to use names instead of
    address. Therefore, we need a system that can map
    a name to an address and conversely an address to
    name.
    • In TCP/IP, this is the domain name system.
    • DNS in the Internet: DNS is protocol that can be
    used in different platforms.
    • Domain name space is divided into three categories.
    • Generic Domain: The generic domain defines
    registered hosts according, to their generic
    behaviour. Each node in the tree defines a domain
    which is an index to the domain name space
    database.
    •One of the most popular network service is electronic mail (e-
    mail).

    •The TCP/IP protocol that supports electronic mail on the Internet


    is called Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP).

    •SMTP transfers messages from senders' mail servers to the


    recipients' mail servers using TCP connections.

    •Users based on e-mail addresses.

    •SMTP provides services for mail exchange between users on the


    same or different computers.
    •Following the client/server model:

    SMTP has two sides: a client side which executes on a


    sender's mail server, and server side which executes on
    recipient's mail server.

    Both the client and server sides of SMTP run on every mail
    server.

    When a mail server sends mail (to other mail servers), it acts
    as an SMTP client.

    When a mail server receives mail (from other mail servers) it


    acts as an SMTP server.
