What is NETBIOS and NET BEUI?

Edit

Explanation

  • NETBIOS:
    • Programming interface allowing I/O requests to be sent to and received from a remote computer.
    • Hides the networking hardware from applications.
    • Supports small to medium networks providing transport and network layer support.
    • Fast and small and works well for the DOS operating system.
  • System wide methods of resolving NETBIOS names to IP address are:
    • b-node - Broadcast node
    • p-node - Point-to-point node queries an NBNS name server to resolve addresses.
    • m-node - First uses broadcasts, then falls back to querying an NBNS name server.
    • h-node - The system first attempts to query an NBNS name server, then falls back to broadcasts if the name server fails.
  • NETBEUI:
    • NETBEUI is NETBIOS extended user interface.
    • A transport protocol designed by Microsoft and IBM for small subnets responsible for data transport.
    • Handles all the frame formatting not handled by NETBIOS.
