  2. Link Layer Topology Discovery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link_Layer_Topology_Discovery

    It is used by their Network Map feature to display a graphical representation of the local area network (LAN) or wireless LAN (WLAN), to which the computer is connected. Windows XP does not contain the LLTD protocol as a standard component and as a result, Windows XP computers do not appear on the Network Map unless the LLTD responder is ...

    If the answer is too large to fit into a single UDP packet, the packet will be marked as "overflown" and the UA is free to send the query directly to the SA using TCP, which can transmit packets of any size. In order to send a query in a network with a DA, the UA will send the query packet to the DA using either UDP or TCP.

  4. Local Area Transport - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_Area_Transport

    Local Area Transport (LAT) [1] [2] is a non-routable (data link layer) networking technology developed by Digital Equipment Corporation [3] to provide connection between the DECserver terminal servers and Digital's VAX and Alpha and MIPS host computers via Ethernet, giving communication between those hosts and serial devices such as video terminals and printers.

  5. Local area network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_area_network

    A local area network (LAN) is a computer network that interconnects computers within a limited area such as a residence, campus, or building, [1] [2] [3] and has its network equipment and interconnects locally managed. LANs facilitate the distribution of data and sharing network devices, such as printers.

  6. Link Layer Discovery Protocol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link_Layer_Discovery_Protocol

    The Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) is a vendor-neutral link layer protocol used by network devices for advertising their identity, capabilities, and neighbors on a local area network based on IEEE 802 technology, principally wired Ethernet. [1]

  7. IPX/SPX - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPX/SPX

    IPX/SPX was primarily designed for local area networks (LANs) and is a very efficient protocol for this purpose (typically SPX's performance exceeds that of TCP on a small LAN, [citation needed] as in place of congestion windows and confirmatory acknowledgements, SPX uses simple NAKs). TCP/IP has, however, become the de facto standard protocol.

  8. Internet Connection Sharing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Connection_Sharing

    Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) is a Windows service that enables one Internet-connected computer to share its Internet connection with other computers on a local area network (LAN). The computer that shares its Internet connection serves as a gateway device , meaning that all traffic between other computers and the Internet go through this ...

  9. Point-to-Point Protocol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point-to-Point_Protocol

    PPP was made to work with numerous network-layer protocols, including Internet Protocol (IP), TRILL, Novell's Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX), NBF, DECnet and AppleTalk. Like SLIP, this is a full Internet connection over telephone lines via modem. It is more reliable than SLIP because it double checks to ensure Internet packets arrive intact ...
