Network Service: Jump To Navigationjump To Search

In computer networking, a network service provides capabilities like data storage, manipulation, presentation or communication using client-server or peer-to-peer architectures. Services are usually provided by server components accessed by client components on other devices via network protocols, though clients and servers can run on the same machine. Examples of network services include file sharing, email, and web pages accessed through application layer protocols like TCP and UDP using port numbers to identify services.

In computer networking, a network service is an application running at the network application


layer and above, that provides data storage, manipulation, presentation, communication or other
capability which is often implemented using a client-server or peer-to-peer architecture based on
application layer network protocols.[1]
Each service is usually provided by a server component running on one or more computers (often a
dedicated server computer offering multiple services) and accessed via a network by client
components running on other devices. However, the client and server components can both be run
on the same machine.
Clients and servers will often have a user interface, and sometimes other hardware associated with
it.
