NetBIOS
From dankwiki
NetBIOS is neither merely a protocol nor a topology; it is an API which makes assumptions about both.
NetBIOS LAN Emulation
Defined in RFC 1001 and RFC 1002, NBT/NetBT/TCPBEUI implements NetBIOS over TCP/UDP.
Mandatory Elements
- Name Service: map NetBIOS names to network layer (IPv4/IPv6) addresses
- Datagram Service: delivery of NetBIOS datagrams over UDP
- Session Service: establishment and maintenance of circuits over TCP
