Session Management
|
|
Session Management involves establishing, maintaining and terminating connections between stations on the network in order to transfer data. |
|
A session is analogous to a telephone call. |
|
The protocol drivers on the computer wanting to communication negotiate the creation of connections. |
|
One station sends a message requesting a connection. |
|
The second station checks whether it has the necessary resources to support another connection. |
|
If it does, it configures itself and sends a unique identifier that the first station uses to send data through the newly established connection. |
