The TCP/IP protocol
What are the TCP/IP layers in Distributed Computing?
-
An application-layer protocol is a language network clients and servers use to communicate with each other.
-
The network layer is responsible for moving data between machines across the boundaries of physical networks.
-
The transport layer handles the problem of directing information between processes, rather than just between machines.
-
The link layer is responsible for establishing communication between machines at the level of a physical connection.
