Talk:Application layer

message: why MIME is here?
I understand MIME as the presentation layer format (or message representation protocol(s)). Also the OSI Model article puts MIME on the presentation layer.

replies: text: It is my understanding that many of the Application Layer Protocols actually perform the services of the Application, Presentation and Session layers of the OSI model. This is why the DoD model lumps the layers together. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Rsduhamel 23:32, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

text: Sounds correct to me, layers 5,6 and 7 are somewhat blurred.  For example SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) should arguably be represented at layer 5, not at layer 7 as it is here.
jsut wanted to make note of a factual error....there aren't seventeen layers in the OSI model...only seven.  Just thought someone might want to correct that.

thread_title:  MIME 

message: Following the link "application protocol" in the "Lightweight Directory Access Protocol" article redirected me to "Application layer".  Am I to take that as a clear statement that "application protocol" is always synonymous with "application layer protocol"?  If so, such a clear statement should be made explicitly.  If not (for example, in reference to a protocol used by an application having nothing to do with communications), the redirect is simply wrong.  Either way, simple redirection without explanation seems like the wrong way to go. Unfree 13:13, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

message: I see problems with the following entries that I think do not belong in layer 7:
(other person) : I'm a student electrical engineering just learning about DHCP so i was a bit confused when i saw this protocol in layer 7.    — Preceding unsigned comment added by Louis Van hunsel (talk • contribs) 09:48, 18 January 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: The article does not discuss Layer 7 protocols, but Application Layer protocols in general. Since the article is not model-specific to OSI or TCP/IP, most of these should be restored. Separate articles or separation into sections may be appropriate however. Kbrose (talk) 16:29, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

message: Why are the layers in capital letters? I know Standards Like to Cpaitalize Every Word But That Is Not Wikipedia Style. This certainly sounds like a general concept, since there are so many of them, and even different concepts in the ISO vs. TCP models, for example. W Nowicki (talk) 21:49, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
