+name: Session Layer
+maintainer: Florin Coras <fcoras@cisco.com>
+features:
+ - Manages allocation and tracking of sessions (6-tuple lookup tables)
+ - App namespaces that constrain application access to network resources
+ - Conveys data and notifications (ctrl and io) between transport protocols
+ and apps
+ - Transport protocol interface:
+ - Provides generic transport protocol template
+ - Converts between transport and application representation of data
+ - Schedules sessions/connections for sending
+ - Application interface:
+ - Maintains per application state
+ - Manages allocation of shared memory resources used for exchanging data
+ between applications and transports
+ - Exposes a native C and a binary api for builtin and external apps
+ respectively
+description: "The session layer facilitates the interaction between northbound
+ applications and southbound transport protocols. To this end,
+ northbound, through the app-interface sub layer, the session
+ layer exposes APIs for applications to interact with abstract
+ units of communication, i.e., sessions. And southbound, through
+ the transport protocol interface, it exposes APIs that allow
+ transport protocols to exchange data and events (ctrl and io)
+ with applications, without actually being aware of how that
+ communication is carried out."
