message transport protocol

---

Hello

I have a question about the various message protocols such as SNMP, openflow, netconf. Are these layer 4 or 7? is there a course that discusses these protocols?
What about websocket? is that layer 7?
Thanks

@Adlane-Fellah,

Netconf is Layer 7
SNMP is Layer 7
Openflow works at Layer 2
Websockets works at Layer 7

There is no real in-depth focus on any one particular protocol but they are discussed across various shows we have.

Is there a particular question you have about them that you can post here and discuss?

Thanks, Ronnie, just saw this, my goal is to understand how these protocols fit in the OSI model, I m also confused why they are called message transport protocol and not be part of the layer 4 transport?

@Adlane-Fellah said in message transport protocol:

message transport protocol

Some are described differently in context.

Message protocol tends to describe format....e.g., SOAP

Transport protocol tends to describe how to handle the message. e.g., http

I don't really read much about the use of message protocol in pure networking but working with specific software products you hear more about it.
