This Recommendation | International Standard specifies:
a) procedures for the connectionless transmission of data and protocol control information from one session entity to a peer session entity;
b) the encoding of the session protocol data units used for the transmission of data and control information;
c) procedures for the correct interpretation of session protocol control information; and
d) the functional requirements for implementations claiming conformance to this Recommendation | International Standard.
The procedures are defined in terms of:
e) the interactions among peer session entities through the exchange of session protocol data units;
f) the interactions between a session entity and a session service user through the exchange of session service primitives; and
g) the interactions between a session entity and a transport provider through the exchange of transport service primitives.
This Recommendation | International Standard specifies a connectionless session protocol. A connection-oriented session protocol is specified in ITU-T Rec. X.225 | ISO/IEC 8327-1.
