Examples of application layer protocols include Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), which is used for transferring web pages; File Transfer Protocol (FTP), which facilitates file transfers between computers; and Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP), used for sending emails. Other notable protocols include Post Office Protocol (POP) and internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) for retrieving emails, as well as Domain Name System (DNS) for resolving domain names to IP addresses. These protocols operate at the highest layer of the OSI model, enabling communication and data exchange between applications.

Rip and BGP is in Application layer Ospf is in Transport Layer
Application layer protocols: DNS and HTTP Transport layer protocols: UDP for DNS and TCP for HTTP
application
The Application layer uses protocols that are implemented within applications and services. While applications provide people with a way to create messages and Application layer services establish an interface to the network, protocols provide the rules and formats that govern how data is treated.
There are more than 3 protocols at the application layer. Three well-known protocols are: HTTP - web page traffic FTP - file transfer traffic SMTP - email transfer
Presentation
Some end user applications are "Network Aware" , meaning they implement the application layer protocols and are able to communicate directly with the lower layers of the protocol stack. Email clients and web browsers are examples of these applications.

The transport layer uses port numbers to identify source and destination application layer protocols. Each application layer protocol is associated with a specific port number, allowing the transport layer to direct incoming and outgoing data to the correct application. For instance, HTTP typically uses port 80, while HTTPS uses port 443. This mechanism enables multiple applications to communicate simultaneously over a network without interference.
HTTP Belongs to the Application layer. Other transfer protocols like POP,FTP,SMTP etc also belongs to this layer
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
