Adapted from Kurose and Ross

Creating a network app

write programs that: •  run on (different) end systems •  communicate over network •  e.g., web server software

communicates with browser software

no need to write software for network-core devices

•  network-core devices do not run user applications

•  applications on end systems allows for rapid app development, propagation

•  Not the most efficient – Manyprotocolsusebinaryfields
