Term:
application layer
Definition:
The top layer of the network protocol stack. The
application layer is concerned with the semantics of work
(e.g., formatting electronic mail messages). How to
represent that data and how to reach the foreign node are
issues for lower layers of the network. [Source: MALAMUD]
