Most of the application layer protocols are layered on top of either TCP or UDP. Therefore, TCP and UDP have to concurrently handle the many disparate data streams sent to them from the application layer. The demultiplexing process would be hopelessly complicated and impossible to handle without some means of identifying which data stream a particular segment of data belongs to. Both TCP and UDP provide a port identifier to uniquely identify each data stream. A set of standard port numbers are assigned by the IANA to the major aplication layer protocols. These 'well known' ports make it easier to find the corresponding server for a particular protocol on a host. e.g. SMTP servers can usually be found on port 25 and HTTP servers are usually on port 80. The combination of a TCP/UDP port and an IP address uniquely identifies a particular service on a particular host. The term 'socket' is usually used to refer to the combination of the TCP/UDP port and IP address.

What are true statements about transport layer protocols?
**The TCP transport layer protocol uses windowing and acknowledgments for reliable transfer of data. **The TCP and UDP port numbers are used by application layer protocols. **The TCP transport layer protocol provides services to direct the data packets to their destination hosts.
Which layer of the OSI model that the telnet protocol is operating at?
TELNET operates at Application Layer in TCP/IP Model. It's an Application to establish a connection to TCP Port Number 23, where a Telnet server application (telnetd) is listening.
Which OSI layer does TCP operate?
TCP and UDP are transport layer protocols; the OSI layer is layer 4 (transport)
IFUsing telnet or ftp which is the highest layer you are using to transmit data?
Normally both using transport layer for communication but they are using tcp protocol which uses application layer so application layer is correct answer..
Which transport layer protocol is used when an application requires acknowledgment that data has been delivered?
tcp

At what TCP IP layer does the TLS protocol work?
Application Layer
The application tcp-ip layer maps to which osi layers?
The Application layer The Presentation layer The Session layer

TELNET operates at Application Layer in TCP/IP Model. It's an Application to establish a connection to TCP Port Number 23, where a Telnet server application (telnetd) is listening.
What is the maximum size of data that the application layer can pass on to the TCP layer below?
2^16 bytes - size of TCP header
What layer protocal is MEGACO?
Megaco/H.248 is an Application Layer protocol and works on TCP/UDP.
Which tcp ip model layer takes a large chunk of data from the application layer and breaks it into smaller segments?
internetwork

Which layer of the tcp ip model processes requests from hosts to make sure a connection is made to the appropriate port?
Application layer
The dns protocol is at what layer of the OSI model?
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.
How many layer of tcp ip?
The TCP/IP model was adopted and condensed into 4 Layers.1. Link layer ( Layer 1and 2 of the OSI model)2. Internet Layer (Layer 3 of the OSI model)3. Transport ( Layer 4, 5 and 6 of the OSI model)4. Application ( Layer 7 of the OSI model)http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TCP/IP_model#Link_Layer
