    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    Specifies the externally visible service provided by the OSI Session Layer in terms of: primitive actions and events of the service; parameter data associated with each primitive action and event and relationship between and valid sequence of those actions and events. Does not include individual implementations or products.
