GSEC · Question #184
Which of the following protocols work at the Session layer of the OSI model? Each correct answer represents a complete solution. Choose all that apply.
The correct answer is A. Border Gateway Multicast Protocol (BGMP) B. Internet Security Association and Key Management Protocol (ISAKMP). BGMP and ISAKMP are classified at OSI Layer 5 (Session layer) because they manage session establishment and security association negotiation.

Why each option
BGMP and ISAKMP are classified at OSI Layer 5 (Session layer) because they manage session establishment and security association negotiation.
BGMP (Border Gateway Multicast Protocol) manages multicast group membership and routing sessions between domains and is classified at the Session layer in OSI taxonomy for its session-coordination role.
ISAKMP (Internet Security Association and Key Management Protocol) establishes, negotiates, modifies, and deletes security associations and cryptographic keying material, functioning as a session-management protocol at OSI Layer 5.
TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) is a file transfer protocol that operates at the Application layer (Layer 7) of the OSI model, not the Session layer.
UDP (User Datagram Protocol) is a connectionless transport protocol that operates at the Transport layer (Layer 4) of the OSI model, not the Session layer.
