PROTOCOL STANDARD FOR A NetBIOS SERVICE
ON A TCP/UDP TRANSPORT:
CONCEPTS AND METHODS
ABSTRACT
This RFC defines a proposed standard protocol to support NetBIOS
services in a TCP/IP environment. Both local network and internet
operation are supported. Various node types are defined to accommodate
local and internet topologies and to allow operation with or without the
use of IP broadcast.
This RFC describes the NetBIOS-over-TCP protocols in a general manner,
emphasizing the underlying ideas and techniques. Detailed
specifications are found in a companion RFC, "Protocol Standard For a
NetBIOS Service on a TCP/UDP Transport: Detailed Specifications".
