# 7. Application Layer
|
|
The application Layer provides services to the end user. So this is the layer the user actually interacts with.
|
|
|
|
These services are usually protocols that interact with the data that the user uses.
|
|
|
|
**Examples of services (protocols):**
|
|
- HTTP
|
|
- FTP
|
|
- IRC
|
|
- SSH
|
|
- DNS
|
|
- SMTP
|
|
|
|
For example a web browser like Google Chrome uses the HTTP protocol to browse files on the internet. And the mail client Outlook uses the SMTP protocol to send mail via the internet. |
