OSI Model: Application/User Layer

 _______________________

_______________________

Application/User Layer: The Application Layer helps us to use a Network facility. It takes care of Network Users. Network users require web pages, transfer of files, and relevant information from a database, etc.  

Users can now easily access a Network. Network access is a step in the direction of serving the information seekers. Indeed it has become very easy to use a Network. Thanks to the Application/User Layer. 

Network access becomes important because a Network provides vast information. Many Computers are connected to a Network. These Computers are huge sources of information. This information is stored in the memory unit of these Computers.

The Application Layer needs some hints to access a Network. These hints are supplied  by the Network user. The support of Application/User Layer simplifies the tasks.

A person who requires information using a Network is helped by the Application/User Layer. The Application/User Layer meets the information seekers. 

We need to serve a variety of our requirements. These requirements may possibly be addressed by different types of presentations. These presentations may be a mixture of text and graphics. The presentation may be pure text. The Application Layer is very capable.

The simplicity of Application Layer solves half of the problem of information seekers. The collapse of 50% of our Network access problem tells about the exploring abilities of the Application Layer. 

The story of simplicity of the Application Layer has one more pleasant side. Things become more and more full of fun when simplicity acquires uniformity. A variety of Network resources and utilities can be uniformly accessed. Thanks to Application/User Layer guidelines.

Interface Message Processor ( IMP )

Interface Message Processor ( IMP ) is a special purpose Computer. The Processor plays a vital role in Host-to-Host communication. IMP is placed between Host Computers.  IMP helps Hosts to exchange information. IMPs ( Interface Message Processors ) form a group. The group dedicates itself towards reliable transmission of Packets. _________________________ Note: An Interface Message Processor can be supposed to have a face. Firstly this supposed face of IMP is in the direction of the first Host, which sends the  message. Secondly, this face is turned towards the other Host.  Now, the IMP,  with its face turned around, communicates with this other Host.  Transformed message from IMP is communicated to this Host. __________________________ Message ( a piece of information ) sent from the Host ( source of information  ) is transformed into Packets. Transformation of the message into Packets is performed by an IMP. These Packets are forwarded to the receiver H...

Understanding Distribution

Distributed presence means that more than one object is there. Also, these objects are situated at more than one location.  One object may establish communication with another object. The first object may deliver some message. The message can be received by another object. It can be said that object distribution is successful, as one object has succeeded in delivering a message. The second object has successfully received the message. Two objects are at a distance. Communication brings them closer. The successful communication has served to highlight that the idea of distribution is meaningful. Distribution helps exchange of information. Many different objects can form a group.  Two groups can occupy different locations.  It may happen that at a particular location there are several objects. But, all these objects talk among themselves.They talk among themselves and make things happen.  There is a resultant of this talk process. All the communicating objects  at...

Message Switching

Message is a piece of information. Switching means movement.  In a Network there are a number of nodes. Nodes are vital junctions of a Network. Message Switching means transmission from one node ( one point ) of a Network to another node ( another point ). So, transmission is from point to point. Transmission from one point to another point is a single hop ( jump ). Message Switching means switch over of a Message. In one step of Message Switching,  Message switches over from one node to another.  The two nodes involved in a Switching operation are on the same Network. It cannot be that the beginning node ( source node) is on one Network and the second node ( sink node ) is on a different Network. In a point to point ( one junction to another junction ) transmission, a Message travels a part of its journey. Message moves from previous point to next point. The Network is Point-to-Point Network. A Switching activity means movement of a message. Indeed, the Message has mov...
