The protocol that this layer uses is TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) and UDP (User Datagram Protocol). TCP gives a reliable, end-to-end, connection-oriented data transfer, while UDP provides unreliable, connectionless data transfer between two computers.

This layer provides end-to-end delivery of data between two nodes or the transport layer is responsible for the delivery of a message from one process to another. It divides data into different segments before transmitting it.

The Session layer is responsible for managing, establishing and terminating connections between applications (local and remote applications). The Session layer makes a connection coordination among applications, setup connections, exchanges, and dialogues (connections) between applications.

The Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model is divided in seven layers. The OSI Model is also divided in two parts; upper level and lower level. The lower level contains a physical layer, data link layer and network layer. The upper level contains a transport layer, session layer, presentation layer and application layer.

This layer is responsible to establish and terminate connections between two communicating machines. This connection is known as a session, hence the name. It establishes full-duplex, half-duplex and simplex connection for communication. The sessions are also used to keep a track of the connections to the web server.

ISO-OSI Layer Model + TCP/IP Model. This is reference model in this model we can identify architectural perspective for networks. This is for how messages should be transmitted between any two points in a telecommunication network.

Protocols on one layer will interact with protocols on the layer above and. below it, forming a protocol suite or stack. The TCP/IP suite is the most. prevalent protocol suite, and is the foundation of the Internet. A network model is not a physical entity – there is no OSI device . Manufacturers do not always strictly adhere to a reference model’s blueprint, and thus not every protocol fits perfectly within a single layer. Some. protocols can function across multiple layers.

The Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model is a protocol used to communicate between different networks. Protocols are nothing but a set of rules used to communicate between two networks. The Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model is divided in seven layers. Reference from Google. OSI Model divided in two parts upper level and lower level. The OSI Model is also divided in two parts; upper level and lower level. The lower level contains a physical layer, data link layer and network layer.
