 | | In the AppleTalk network topology depicted on the right, we illustrate two networks connected via a router, one with a single network number of 53, the other with network numbers assigned in the range 20-25. |
 | | A node proposes an AppleTalk address for itself, broadcasts the address over the network, and waits for a reply from any other node on the network claiming that the address in the probe is already in use. |
 | | In addition to supporting AARP and RTMP, AppleTalk routers must support the Zone Information Protocol (ZIP), which is used to map network numbers to zone names on the network, and the Name Binding Protocol (NBP), which is used to bind names of network visible entities (e.g., printers or file servers) to AppleTalk addresses. |
