AppleTalk Phase II Support

Full support for AppleTalk Phase II is new in NETServer 8/16

Plus. The following protocols are supported:

• DDP - Datagram Delivery Protocol is a network-layer

protocol that encapsulates and forwards transport layer

packets on LANs and WANs

• RTMP - Routing Table Maintenance Protocol establishes and

maintains routing tables for forwarding packets

• AEP - AppleTalk Echo Protocol allows a node to send a

packet to any other node and to receive an echoed copy of

that packet in return. It is similar to IP’s PING

• NBP - Name Binding Protocol is a transport-level protocol

that converts entity names to addresses, learning which

networks belong to a zone

• ZIP - Zone Information Protocol finds and maps network

numbers to zone names

• AARP - AppleTalk Address Resolution Protocol reconciles

addressing discrepancies in networks that support more

than one set of protocols

• ARAP - AppleTalk Remote Access Protocol defines login

and authentication as well as the AppleTalk data format

• AT-PPP - AppleTalk Point to Point Protocol sets up a WAN

between two AppleTalk networks
