DNS is an application layer protocol. The application layer of the OSI model is the layer closest to the user and provides network services to the applications of the user. Examples of protocols that operate at the application layer are: DNS, FTP, TFTP, SNMP, TELNET, RLOGIN, SMTP, MIME, NFS, FINGER, BOOTP and SMB.
3rd layer.
because ICMP stands for internet control Message Protocol. It is a network protocol so ICMP operates network Layer of the osi model.
DNS is usually considered a layer 7 (application layer) protocol.
DNS is a layer 7 Application Layer protocol.
In the 7 layers of the OSI model, DNS works in the 7th layer i.e application layer which is a human-computer interaction layer, where we can access applications and network services.
TCP work at transport Layer of OSI model.
Telnet is an application layer protocol (Layer 7). Its functionality is similar to any of the layer 7 protocols, including DHCP, DNS, FTP, etc.
Think in terms of HTTP (HyperText transfer protocol), FTP (file transfer protocol), DNS (domain name services) and DHCP (dynamic host configuration protocol). The application layer is the highest level, layer 7 of the OSI an ISO (International Standards Organization) (Open Systems Interconnect) model. ISO falls under the ANSI (American National standards Organization). This is an old standard and I believe the layers have been redefined once or twice over the years. Generally you can think of the application layer as what is on the screen in front of you. If you download a web page, open an email or get an IM (instant message) from someone you are looking at the application layer. Remember that the presentation layer 6 just below application may have done some data formatting, decrypting or conversion of some kind before the data is actually visible at the application layer. Clear as mud?

There are many more than three protocols which can operate at the application layer. Some of these are; Telnet FTP TFTP SMTP IMAP POP DNS RARP BOOTP SNMP CMOT
The OSI model represents a simple framework for discussing network protocols and therefor has no most significant portion. Lower level protocols like TCP/IP span several layers while Frame Relay and MPLS fit neatly in to a single layer. Higher level protocols like DNS and DHCP can be transport independent and don't necessarily require any of the lower layers to function.
DNS is Domain name system for short . Domain name system maps a name to an address. Protocol that relies upon DNS is TCP/IP .tcpip protocol
DNS protocol.
suseth
DNS protocol was created to convert human domain names into IP address (intenet operates on IP addreses).
DNS does.
dns
TCP/ IP protocol suite uses a DNS client. DNS stands for Domain name system .A DNS server maps a name to an address.
