In the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) communications model, the Session layer (sometimes called the "port layer") manages the setting up and taking down of the association between two communicating end points that is called a connection. A connection is maintained while the two end points are communicating back and forth in a conversation or session of some duration. Some connections and sessions last only long enough to send a message in one direction. However, other sessions may last longer, usually with one or both of the communicating parties able to terminate it.

An asynchronous, two-way logical connection between a LAT service node and terminal server that enables a user or an application to exchange data with a host providing a LAT service. The 4DLT utility used to maintain LAT functions on an IRIS host.

AJPv2 borrows the term "session" from the W3C MUX protocol and its predecessor, Simon Spero's Session Control Protocol (SCP) proposal. In this context, it refers to a multiplexed channel within the larger connection that contains this protocol. There may be multiple sessions on a single connection. Note that this is unrelated to the use of "sessions" in the Java Development Kit's (JDK) 1.2 servlet classes, which track application-layer inter-request information that are outside the scope of this protocol. It is possible (and unfortunate) for terminology collisions such as this to occur at different layers of a protocol suite. But realizing they are at different layers allows them to be clearly differentiated.

A lasting interaction between system entities, often involving a user, typified by the maintenance of some state of the interaction for the duration of the interaction. [WSIA Glossary] Such an interaction may not be limited to a single connection between the system entities.

A connection to a network service.

(1) A connected exchange of related messages between one user and one application. See also SSCP-LU session, LU-LU session. (2) The description of the means and resources to create session, including the logical unit (LU) number to be used and the display station model, as configured in advance to NetWare for SAA. In this sense, session is equivalent to a supported LU. Each configured session or LU is presented as a datagram node.

1. A logical connection between two systems. It is basically an agreement that they are ready to exchange information with each other, and includes the specifics of how this will be done, for what duration, etc. 2. The period of time that a process or program is active. Each time it is opened or started marks a new session, which lasts until it is closed or halted.

A logical connection between two stations that allows them to communicate.

A logical connection created between two hosts to exchange data. Typically, sessions use sequencing and acknowledgments to send data reliably. In the context of load balancing TCP/IP traffic, a set of client requests directed to a server. These requests can be invoked with multiple, possibly concurrent, TCP connections. The server program sometimes maintains state information between requests. To preserve access to the server state, Network Load Balancing needs to direct all requests within a session to the same cluster host when load balancing. See also: client request; load balancing; server; Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)

The set of events that occurs from when a user connects to the Oracle database to when that user disconnects from the database. Session information is recorded in the SYS.V_$SESSION view.

In computer science, in particular networking, a session is either a lasting connection using the session layer of a network protocol or a lasting connection between a user (or user agent) and a peer, typically a server, usually involving the exchange of many packets between the user's computer and the server. A session is typically implemented as a layer in a network protocol (e.g., telnet or FTP).

Single recording event that creates a single information area (lead-in - program area - lead-out.)

As defined in the Orange Book, a recorded segment of a compact disc which may contain one or more tracks of any type (data or audio). In data recording, there is usually only one track per session. In audio recording, all audio tracks are contained in a single session. A lead-in and lead-out are recorded for every session on a disc.

Discs may be written in what's known as sessions--writing a small amount of data, a table of contents, a lead-in, and a lead-out. The disc will be readable, but you'll still be able to write more data in (up to 99) sessions up to the capacity of the disc.

A collection of one or more tracks. Each recording procedure generates a session that contains all the tracks recorded at that time. A CD recorded in multiple recording sessions is known as a multisession CD.

A recorded segment of a disc which may contain one or more tracks of any type (data, audio or video). Data recordings usually have one track per session, but there can be multiple sessions on a disc. All video and audio tracks should be in a single session. A lead-in and a lead-out are recorded for each session on a disc.

The channel of communication between a client and server.

In DirectPlay, an instance of several applications on remote computers communicating with each other. Before an application can start communicating with other computers, it must be part of a session. An application can enumerate all the existing sessions on a network and join one of them, or it can create a new session and wait for other computers to join it. Once the application is part of a session, it can create a player and exchange messages with all the other players in the session.

A mobile device running an instance of a network/client application on a Fixed End System (FES) or application server.

An instance of a class having a start data and an end date.

a subprocess of the FDL, with associated state, for communication with a Client

session occurs between a LDAP client and a server when the client sends a bind command. A session may be either anonymous or authenticated.

A series of two or more related transactions between a client and a server. A session ends when the client quits or the session identifier expires.

The context information of a communication in general.

The context information of an SSL communication.
