In computer science, in particular networking, a session is either a lasting connection using the session layer of a network protocol or a lasting connection between a user (or user agent) and a peer, typically a server, usually involving the exchange of many packets between the user's computer and the server.
UDP) or where sessions at the session layer are generally very short-lived (e.g.
HTTP), sessions are maintained by a higher level program using a method defined in the data being exchanged.

 Physical layer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The physical layer is level one in the seven level OSI model of computer networking.
The physical layer is the most basic network layer, providing only the means of transmitting raw bits.

In the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) communications model, the Session layer (sometimes called the "port layer") manages the setting up and taking down of the association between two communicating end points that is called a connection.
However, other sessions may last longer, usually with one or both of the communicating parties able to terminate it.
For Internet applications, each session is related to a particular port, a number that is associated with a particular upper layer application.

It is the responsibility of the Transport and Session layer protocols to enhance the quality of service to that desired by a particular application.
In Internet terminology, these are the protocols of the Host-to-Host Layer, but I think Session Management better describes their role.
These protocols function as an intermediary between the application and network layers.
