Session Layer

The Session Layer is a part of computer network communication that manages the connection between two devices. Think of it as a handshake or a conversation broker—it establishes, maintains, and ends the communication session, ensuring that data is sent and received smoothly. It handles dialogue control, so if a message gets interrupted, it can resume without confusion. Essentially, it helps keep the two devices “talking” in an organized way, allowing applications to exchange information reliably during a single interaction.
