Applikationsnivåprotokollen
Applikationsnivåprotokollen, often referred to as the application layer protocol, is a set of rules and conventions that govern how data is exchanged between applications running on different network devices. This layer sits at the very top of the network protocol stack, closest to the end user and the applications they interact with. Its primary function is to provide services directly to user applications, enabling them to communicate with each other across a network.
These protocols define the format, timing, and sequencing of message exchanges. They handle tasks such as data
Without application layer protocols, applications would lack a standardized way to understand and process network data.
