Session Layer

## Encounter (E)

• Key Takeaways:
  • Manages dialogue between systems
  • Facilitates communication without focusing on data transmission

## Note (N)

• The Session Layer of the OSI Model functions as the network dialog controller. It establishes, maintains, and terminates connections between applications on different network devices.

## Develop (D)

• Expanded Details:
  • Manages the setup and teardown of communication sessions between two devices in a network.
  • Its primary role is not data transmission but facilitating the rules and logistics of how two devices communicate.

## Express (E)

• Share by:
  • Writing a blog post detailing how the OSI Model layers work together for effective networking, highlighting the role of the Session Layer.
  • Creating an explainer video focusing on what sets the Session Layer apart from other layers in the OSI Model.
  • Presenting a case study in a networking course to explain how issues at the Session Layer can affect overall network performance.
