There are about three different set -of connection and name spaces here. - -Firstly we have an array of 802.2 LLC links acting as reliable inter node -links for the nodes we are talking to do. We create and tear these down as -needed. In effect it goes around pretending ethernet is a set of bits of -wire and running pseudo X.25 over it. The LLC code is elsewhere (net/802). - -Secondly we have the netbios name space. When we sit on multiple networks -we have fun. Netbios isnt routable, so we have to arse around looking on -all our devices for names. - -Thirdly we have logical netbeui sessions on top of the whole heap. - - *Don't blame us* - -We didn't design the protocol. - |
