In computer science, particularly in computer networks, a session is the duration of a connection using a session layer of a network protocol, or the duration of a connection between a user (the agent) and a server, usually involving the exchange of multiple data packets between the user's computer and the server.A session is typically implemented as a layer in a network protocol (for example, telnet and FTP).
In the case of transport protocols where it is not implements a formal session layer (for example, UDP), or where sessions in the session layer are generally of a short life (for example, HTTP), sessions can be maintained by a higher level program, using some method.For example, an HTTP exchange between a browser and a remote server, can include a cookie, which allows you to maintain a "session", with its own identifier, user data, preferences, etc.
The login is the option and action (l ogging in) to start a session, usually using a username and password.
