| application layer | Anwendungsschicht (Layer seven of the OSI model, the layer at which applications access network services. This layer represents the services that directly support applications, such as software for file transfer, database access, and e-mail) |
| application layer | Anwendungsebene (A set of application models that take precedence over application models that are in lower application layers. The lowest layer is named SYS) |
| Application Layer Enforcement | Erzwingung der Anwendungsschicht (An operation of Windows Filtering Platform (WFP) which provides enforcement for security policies by, in each case, trapping the event, determine what application initiated it, and query the filter engine to determine whether the socket should be allowed to proceed) |
| asynchronous communication layer | Schicht für die asynchrone Kommunikation (The layer of AJAX functionality that takes care of communication between the browser and the server) |
| ATM adaptation layer | ATM-Adaptionsschicht (The layer of the asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) protocol stack that parses data into the payload portion of the ATM cell for transport across an ATM network) |
| client layer | Clientebene (The layer that resides closest to your application, and that your application uses to communicate directly with SQL Azure. The client layer can reside on-premises in your data center, or it can be hosted in Windows Azure) |
| Core layer | Kernebene (A layer in the Surface SDK that exposes a set of APIs for developers to use to create Surface applications) |
| data-link layer | Sicherungsschicht (Layer two of the OSI model. A layer that packages raw bits from the physical layer into frames (logical, structured packets for data). This layer is responsible for transferring frames from one computer to another, without errors. After sending a frame, the data-link layer waits for an acknowledgment from the receiving computer) |
| hardware abstraction layer | Hardwareabstraktionsschicht (A thin layer of software provided by the hardware manufacturer that hides, or abstracts, hardware differences from higher layers of the operating system. By means of the filter provided by the HAL, different types of hardware look alike to the rest of the operating system. This enables the operating system to be portable from one hardware platform to another. The HAL also provides routines that enable a single device driver to support the same device on all platforms) |
| Hypertext Transfer Protocol over Secure Sockets Layer | Hypertext Transfer-Protokoll Secure, HTTP über SSL (A message transfer protocol used by the World Wide Web to service page requests, and which adds a security layer using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology) |
| infrastructure layer | Infrastrukturebene (The layer that represents the IT administration of the physical hardware and operating systems that support the services layer) |
| Layer Two Tunneling Protocol | Layer Two Tunneling-Protokoll (An industry-standard Internet tunneling protocol that provides encapsulation for sending Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) frames across packet-oriented media. For IP networks, L2TP traffic is sent as User Datagram Protocol (UDP) messages. In Microsoft operating systems, L2TP is used in conjunction with Internet Protocol security (IPSec) as a virtual private network (VPN) technology to provide remote access or router-to-router VPN connections. L2TP is described in RFC 2661) |
| line layer | Linienebene (The layer in a map report that displays spatial data as lines, for example, lines that indicate paths or routes) |
| map layer | Kartenebene (A child element of the map, each map layer including elements for their map members and map member attributes) |
| modeling abstraction layer | Modellierungsabstraktionsschicht (The layer that resides between users (both application developers and end-users) and SQL Server and SQL Server Analysis Services data) |
| network interface layer | Netzwerkschnittstellenebene (A layer of the TCP/IP DARPA model that is responsible for placing TCP/IP packets on the network medium and receiving TCP/IP packets off the network medium. The network interface layer is also called the network access layer) |
| network layer | Vermittlungsschicht (Layer three of the OSI model. A layer that addresses messages and translates logical addresses and names into physical addresses. It also determines the route from the source to the destination computer and manages traffic problems, such as switching, routing, and controlling the congestion of data packets) |
| patch layer | Korrektur Ebene (An application layer that is paired above an application layer, and used only for hotfixes and service packs. The name of each patch layer ends with the letter "P", and one pair is named SYS and SYP) |
| platform layer | Plattformebene (The layer that includes the physical servers and services that support the services layer. The platform layer consists of many instances of SQL Server, each of which is managed by the SQL Azure fabric) |
| point layer | Punktebene (The layer in a map report that displays spatial data as points, for examples, points that indicate cities or points of interest) |
| polygon layer | Polygonebene (The layer in a map report that displays spatial data as areas, for example, areas that indicate geographical regions such as counties) |
| posting layer | Buchungsebene (A current, tax, or operations ledger classification that is assigned to accounting journal entries) |
| presentation layer | Darstellungsschicht (Layer six of the OSI model. A network layer that translates data from the application layer into an intermediary format. This layer also manages security issues by providing such services as data encryption, and compresses data so that fewer bits need to be transferred on the network) |
| services layer | Diensteebene (The layer that functions as a gateway between the client layer and the platform layer, where the data resides. The services layer provides three functions: provisioning, billing and metering, and connection routing) |
| session layer | Sitzungsschicht (Layer five of the OSI model. A network layer that allows two applications on different computers to establish, use, and end a session. This layer establishes dialog control between the two computers in a session, regulating which side transmits, as well as when and how long it transmits) |
| Transport Layer Security encryption | Transport Layer Security-Verschlüsselung (A generic security protocol similar to Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), used with Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP)) |
| WPF layer | WPF-Ebene (A layer in the Surface SDK that exposes functionality for developers to use to create Surface applications) |
