NetBIOS:-
The original networking protocol for DOS and Windows PCs.
NetBIOS packets did not contain a network address and were
not easily routable between networks. As a result, the
interface to NetBIOS and the transport part of NetBIOS were
later separated so that NetBIOS applications could use
routable protocols such as TCP/IP and SPX/IPX. The
programming interface (API) retained the NetBIOS name,
while the transport protocol was renamed NetBEUI
(pronounced "net-boo-ee").
Name Resolution
Today, NetBIOS is used to support legacy NetBIOS
applications but is also widely used for NetBIOS name
resolution. Since NetBIOS was the first major standard for
PC networks, computers were named according to the NetBIOS
format, which identifies a machine by a unique 15-character
name. NetBIOS machines periodically broadcast their names
over the network so that Network Neighborhood or My Network
Places can catalog them.
