* AppleTalk Session Protocol, a session layer protocol used by the AppleTalk suite of protocols

The protocol is based on pairs of request / response PDUs ( protocol data units, or packets ) exchanged over OSI layer 4 ( TCP session or X. 25 SVC3 ) connections.

If a mapping is available, presentation service data units are encapsulated into session protocol data units, and passed down the stack. This layer provides independence from data representation ( e. g., encryption ) by translating between application and network formats.

The common application service element sublayer provides services for the application layer and request services from the session layer.

In the seven-layer OSI model of computer networking, the session layer is layer 5.

Other examples of session layer implementations include Zone Information Protocol ( ZIP ) – the AppleTalk protocol that coordinates the name binding process, and Session Control Protocol ( SCP ) – the DECnet Phase IV session-layer protocol.

Within the service layering semantics of the OSI network architecture, the session layer responds to service requests from the presentation layer and issues service requests to the transport layer.

The session layer of the OSI model is responsible for session checkpointing and recovery.

The TCP / IP reference model does not concern itself with the OSI model's details of application or transport protocol semantics and therefore does not consider a session layer.

OSI's session management in connection with the typical transport protocols ( TCP, SCTP ), is contained in the transport-layer protocols, or otherwise considered the realm of the application layer protocols.

It is part of the transport layer in the TCP / IP model, but of the session layer in the OSI model.

In the OSI model, this function is supported by the session layer.

In the OSI model, the definition of its application layer is narrower in scope, explicitly distinguishing additional functionality above the transport layer at two additional levels, the session layer and the presentation layer.

It provides services related to the session layer of the OSI model allowing applications on separate computers to communicate over a local area network.

A Bootstrapping Server Function ( BSF ) is an intermediary element in cellular networks which provides application independent functions for mutual authentication of user equipment and servers unknown to each other and for ' bootstrapping ' the exchange of secret session keys afterwards.
