with the Web, a browser is a client process and a Web server is a server process.
With p2p file sharing, the peer that is downloading the file is labeled as the client, and the peer that is uploading the file is labeled as the server.
transport layer processes occur between the applicaitoin layer and internet layer of the TCP/IP and between the session layer and network layer of the OSI model.
Session layer.The session layer provides the mechanism for opening, closing and managing a session between end-user application processes, i.e., a semi-permanent dialogue.

The session layer (layer 5)
The process which initiates the communication is the client; the process that waits to be contacted is the server.
Communication between communicating entities/hosts in a network. Happens in Session Layer (According to the OSI model).
In computer science and networking in particular, a session is a temporary and interactive information interchange between two or more communicating devices, or between a computer and user (see login session). A session is established at a certain point in time, and then ‘torn down’ - brought to an end - at some later point. An established communication session may involve more than one message in each direction. A session is typically stateful, meaning that at least one of the communicating parties needs to hold current state information and save information about the session history to be able to communicate, as opposed to stateless communication, where the communication consists of independent requests with responses.

The transport layer in an OSI model is the layer that moves information or data between the network layer and the session layer. The Open Systems Interconnection model is a way of visualizing the processes that happen in communication and networking.
The session layer, which is the fifth layer of the OSI model, is responsible for establishing, maintaining, and terminating communication sessions between applications. It manages the dialogue between two devices, ensuring that data is properly synchronized and organized during communication. Additionally, it handles session control, such as determining when to establish or terminate sessions and managing the exchange of information in a structured manner. Overall, it plays a crucial role in facilitating smooth interaction between networked applications.
The design issues of the session layer primarily include session establishment, maintenance, and termination, which involve ensuring reliable communication between applications. Additionally, it must manage synchronization, allowing for data exchange at specific checkpoints to recover from interruptions. Security aspects, such as authentication and encryption, are also crucial to protect the data being transmitted during a session. Finally, the layer must handle session restoration and recovery in case of failures, ensuring consistent communication.
In the Kerberos authentication process, the Ticket Granting Server (TGS) sends the Ticket Granting Ticket (TGT) along with a session key to the client. This occurs after the client successfully authenticates with the Authentication Server (AS) using its credentials. The TGT allows the client to request access to various services without needing to re-enter credentials, while the session key facilitates secure communication between the client and the TGS.
The application layer.
The layer responsible for identifying communication partners in the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model is the Session Layer, which is the fifth layer. It establishes, maintains, and terminates connections between applications. The Session Layer also manages the exchange of data and controls the dialog between the communicating systems, ensuring that the right partners are connected for effective communication.
The session layer is the fifth layer of the OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) model, responsible for establishing, managing, and terminating sessions between applications. It enables communication between systems by coordinating and maintaining interactions, ensuring that data exchange is organized and synchronized. This layer handles session control mechanisms, like establishing checkpoints and recovery methods, to ensure reliable data transfer. Examples of session layer protocols include NetBIOS and RPC (Remote Procedure Call).
