Configuring NetBIOS over IP
The Network Basic Input-Output System (NetBIOS) is a session layer
communications service used by client and server applications in IBM Token
Ring and PC LAN networks.
NetBIOS provides applications with a programming interface for sharing services
and information across a variety of lower-layer network protocols, including IP.
Figure 8-1 shows the position of NetBIOS and IP in a simple network
architecture.
