A standard session protocol for open systems interconnection (OSI)
Charles E. Young · 1983
Protocol and service standards governing the session layer of the seven-layer reference model for OSI are expected to be finalized in 1983. These standards are being developed jointly by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Telegraph and Telephone Consultative Committee (CCITT) groups, and will have wide applicability in data communications. Their basic characteristics and the open issues now being resolved are described. A status update on this fast-moving project will be presented at NCC '83.
