Data exchange 

The Session Layer establishes, manages, and terminates sessions (different from connections) between applications as they interact on different hosts on a network. 
Its main job is to coordinate the service requests and responses between different hosts for applications.
Examples: NFS, SQL, RPC, ASP


Three different communication modes exists for data transfer within a session connection:


Single-duplex:--  transmitting alternately in each direction.
like  keybord 

 Half-duplex:--  relating to the transmission of information in opposite directions but not simultaneously.
 like woki toki

 Full-duplex:--  relating to the simultaneous, independent transmission of information in both directions over a two-way channel.
like phone
