Protocol Description
RARP Reverse Address Resolution Protocol. This IP protocol
provides a way for computers to determine their
own IP addresses when they only know their
hardware address (i.e., MAC addresses). Certain
types of computers, such as diskless workstations,
must use RARP to determine their IP address before
communicating with other network devices.
AppleTalk® A networking protocol used in for Apple
Macintosh® networks.
NetBEUI NetBIOS Enhanced User Interface. On many LAN
operating systems, the NetBEUI protocol provides the
method by which computers identify themselves to
and communicate with each other.
IPX Internetwork Packet Exchange. A networking
protocol used on Novell Netware ®-based LANs.
BPDU Bridge Protocol Data Unit. BPDUs are data messages
that are exchanged across the switches between
LANs that are connected by a bridge. BPDU packets
contain information on ports, addresses, priorities,
and costs, and are exchanged across bridges to
detect and eliminate loops in a network.
ARP Address Resolution Protocol. Computers on a LAN
use ARP to learn the hardware addresses (i.e., MAC
addresses) of other computers when they know only
their IP addresses.
IPV6 Multicast IP Multicasting under IP Protocol version 6. See IP
Multicast above.
802.1.Q This IEEE specification defines a protocol for virtual

of PCs that function as a local area network, even
though the PCs may not be physically connected.
They are commonly used to facilitate administration
of large networks.
