It keeps different applications data separate. It offers 3 different modes of communication. They are simplex, full duplex and half-duplex.
It is also used for tearing and establishing sessions between the host and destination.
There are in total seven layers in OSI model . OSI model layer that is responsible for the termination of connections between hosts is session layer . Session layer is responsible for the dialog control .

The OSI model is a general model for networking . It has seven layer in total and each layer have some responsibilities. The layer that determines the communication mode is physical layer.
Transport Layer This is not correct, it's the session layer of the OSI model SSL was created with the TCP/IP model in mind, not the OSI model. While it is technically true SSL or TLS is in the Session Layer of the OSI, it should be referred to in conjunction with the TCP/IP Model. In this case, it resides above the Transport Layer, providing security for it, hence the name of SSL's successor Transport Layer Security (TLS). Note: TLS 1.0 is SSL 3.1 FYI, please take note the ITU X.800 recommendation states there are no security services provided in the session layer.
