SSCP · Question #356
The session layer provides a logical persistent connection between peer hosts. Which of the following is one of the modes used in the session layer to establish this connection?
The correct answer is A. Full duplex. OSI Layer 5 (Session layer) supports three dialog control modes: simplex (one-way only), half duplex (two-way but only one direction at a time), and full duplex (simultaneous two-way communication). Full duplex is a valid and standard session layer mode. 'Synchronous' and…

Explanation
OSI Layer 5 (Session layer) supports three dialog control modes: simplex (one-way only), half duplex (two-way but only one direction at a time), and full duplex (simultaneous two-way communication). Full duplex is a valid and standard session layer mode. 'Synchronous' and 'asynchronous' describe timing/clocking methods at the Physical/Data Link layers, not session-layer modes. 'Half simplex' is not a recognized OSI term.
