There is a network device (or service) that works at the Application
layer, namely, the gateway. However, an Application layer gateway is a
specific type of component. It serves as a protocol translation tool. For
example, an IP-to-IPX gateway takes inbound communications from
TCP/IP and translates them over to IPX/SPX for outbound
transmission. Application layer firewalls also operate at this layer.
Other networking devices or filtering software may observe or modify
traffic at this layer.
