Course Summary

Networking Concepts Course: TCP, UDP, and Application Layer Protocols for CompTIA Network+. This course will teach you how the transport layer and the application layer work together to provide the most important network services. These skills are essential to pass the Network+ certification exam. This course gives you a deep understanding of how networks work at a more detailed level. By learning key concepts such as TCP and UDP, you will be able to better understand how data is transferred over the network and diagnose and fix potential problems. Also, by knowing the application layer protocols, you can easily work with different network programs and configure their settings.Application layer protocols are the interface between user applications, such as a web browser, and the data network. Most people use a smartphone and by installing a simple app on their phone, they use many application layer protocols, even if they are not aware of them. In this CompTIA Network+ Network Concepts: TCP, UDP, and Application Layer Protocols course, you’ll learn about the most important application layer protocols and how they use transport layer protocols. First, you will examine the most important protocol for transferring data on a network, the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). Then, you’ll discover the most important application layer protocols and how to use them. Finally, you will learn how DHCP, NTP, and DNS are used as supporting protocols to enable web browsing as a relatively seamless process. After completing this course, you will have the necessary skills and knowledge of transport and application layer protocols to pass the Network+ certification exam.
