Front 2

What is Networking?

Back 2

A grouping of two or more computers being linked together to exchange data.

Front 3

Session Layer does what, again?

Back 3

Primarily responsible for setting up and managing communicative sessions, thereby enabling the sending and receiving of data for

an undetermined length of time. This also means it terminates communications as well.

Front 4

What are common session layer helpers?

Back 4

They are also known as API's or Application Programming Interfaces.

Front 5

What is a common example of an API?

Back 5

Network Basic Input/Output System (NETBIOS)

Allows applications on separate computers to communicate over a local area network(LAN)

Front 6

What is another example of an API?

Back 6

Transfer Control Protocol/Internet Protocol

(TCP/IP)

Standardizes communications

Front 7

As part of the OSI model, what is the Session Layer allowed to determine?

Back 7

As part of OSI model, the Session layer determines what format will be used for data exchange between engaging nodes on a network. As long as the established format is in place, the communications channel will maintain an open status.

Front 8

What is the goal for the Session Layer?

Back 8

To coordinate active applications on various hosts using assigned protocols.

Front 9

What are six of the more popular Session Protocols used to handle service requests, program commands and the associate replies?

Back 9

1. Network File System (NFS)

2. Structured Query Language (SQL)

3. Remote Call Procedure(RPC)

4. X Window System

5. AppleTalk Session Protocol(ASP)

6. DEC Session Control Protocol(SCP)
