session layer
session layer A layer within the OSI REFERENCE MODEL. It carries out the process of organizing and monitoring the transfer of data between applications such as NEWSREADERS and WEB SERVERS which reside in the APPLICATION LAYER. It also keeps track of the progress of data transfers. If an error in transmission has occurred then it is the function of this layer to inform the applications involved. This layer is also capable of synchronizing communication between two applications when, for example, transmission is temporarily interrupted.
