014.02.12.1. Can you explain the role of client and server applications in network communications and how they interact at the application layer, particularly in the context of using web browsers and Unix network servers?
Network clients connect to corresponding network servers. A server program can listen to a port on its own or through a secondary server. Using the telnet command we can interact with the server for e.g.:-
telnet emblogic.com 80. Here the user interacts with the server at emblogic.com situated at port 80.
