NetBIOS is a protocol that per forms tasks related to the Transpor t and Session layers of the OSI model. It can
operate over IPX using a special broadcast packet known as “IPX Packet type 20” to communicate with IPX
NetBIOS ser vers.

The Netopia R5000 Series Router has several IPX features designed to restrict the traffic on the dial-up link
when the unit is not sending or receiving IPX data. When the link is idle and a user is logged into a Novell
ser ver, the ser ver will send keep-alive packets to ensure that the user is still there. If the link is idle, the
keep-alive packets will be sent back to the ser ver by the locally connected Netopia R5000 Series Router as
though they came back from the user without bringing up the dial-up link.
SPX keep-alive packets are also treated in this manner. IPX RIP and SAP messages will not be sent if the link is
down. Together, these features enable the user to remain connected to a Novell ser ver or SPX peer without
bringing up the dial-up link, except to send and receive actual user data.
