6.15. NetBIOS and NetBEUI

IBM initially created NetBIOS and NetBEUI to bolster little networks. Microsoft implemented the protocols as a major aspect of LAN administrator, a network working framework based on top of early forms of the OS/2 platform.

Neither one of the protocols is routable, so every one of them is reasonable just for little LANs that don't depend on routers between various LAN fragments. Still, NetBIOS can be exemplified inside TCP/IP parcels on Windows networks utilizing a service NetBIOS over TCP/IP (truncated as NBT).

Microsoft LANs (before Windows 2000) depend on a NetBIOS service called NetBIOS Names to distinguish every workstation particularly. In a basic NetBIOS usage, names are enlisted with all workstations through a telecast message. On the off chance that no PC has effectively enlisted a specific name, the name enrolment succeeds. In a more set out to TCP/IP addresses using Windows Internet Name Service (WINS). The names can likewise be determined utilizing static name definition sections contained in a record called LMHOSTS (for LAN Manager HOSTS).

Since some networking applications still utilize NetBIOS Names, either WINS or LMHOSTS permits such software’s to keep on functioning in a TCP/IP just network. To the extent the software is concerned, it is as yet working with NetBIOS, while TCP/IP performs the real work out of sight.
