[comp.protocols.tcp-ip.ibmpc] RFC 1001/1002 based Netbios

neeraj@matrix.UUCP (neeraj sangal) (05/02/89)

	We have recently implemented Netbios on TCP/IP according to
RFC1001 and RFC 1002.  The RFCs describe three type of nodes: B, P and M.
The operation of B nodes is limited to a single broadcast and they use
broadcasts for name service.

	In order to operate in a general internet and to minimize broadcast
activity on the network, the RFCs define P type nodes which use a name server
and a datagram distribution server. (M is a hybrid of P and B type nodes).

	All of the current implementations that we know of implement B type
nodes only.  Is there anyone on the network who has implemented these RFCs
completely?  We are interested in testing our P and M nodes against those
implementations.  Please mail all responses directly to me.
