  AppleTalk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Unlike most other early LAN systems, AppleTalk was not built on the archetypal Xerox XNS system, as the intended target was not Ethernet and did not have 48-bit addresses to route.
The AppleTalk address resolution protocol (AARP) allowed AppleTalk hosts to automatically generate their own network addresses, and the Name Binding Protocol (NBP) was essentially a dynamic DNS system which mapped network addresses to user-readable names.
AppleTalk is now considered clunky and often called 'chatty', notably on larger networks and WANs where the naming services generated considerable unwanted traffic.

Tethereal recognizes this directly from the file; the '.gz' extension is not required for this purpose.
In "ring buffer" mode, Tethereal will write to several capture files; the name of the first file, while the capture is in progress, will be the name specified by the -w flag, and subsequent files with have.n appended, with n counting up.
When the capture completes, the files will be renamed to have names based on the number of the file and on the date and time at which packets most recently started being written to the file.

 AppleTalk Fundamentals   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
AppleTalk's flexibility allows it to be used to connect peripherals such as the LaserWriter, or act as a stand-alone local-area network for up to 32 nodes, or form portions of a larger network by using bridges and gateway devices.
AppleTalk's address header (a part of each data packet) is used for identification of a process on the network and consists of a socket number, node number, and network number.
ASP is an asymetric protocol in that the workstation initiates the session connection and issues sequences of commands, to which the server responds; the server may not send commands to the workstation.

 AppleTalk (Linktionary term)
AppleTalk is the architecture that defines a set of protocols used by devices to communicate over the network.
The main purpose of protocols in the session layer is to establish and maintain communication sessions between two nodes.
AFP uses ASP in the session layer to establish a communications session, then relies on ADSP to ensure the accuracy of file transfers of the network.

AppleShare, using the AppleTalk Filing Protocol (AFP), is the native Macintosh file-sharing mech- anism.
Protocol trans- lation is a vital component in achieving the vision of the IFS project to extend AFS (its file system base) to support multiple platforms and a potential 30,000 workstations on the University of Mich- igan campus.
The main routine calls the initialization routines in the supporting routines for each protocol, and then enters an in- finite for loop that sleeps on a file descriptor, waiting to be woken by the socket layer, for the sock- ets it has open.

 Apple Talk
AppleTalk, a protocol suite developed by Apple Computer in the early 1980s, was developed in conjunction with the Macintosh computer.
AppleTalk Phase 1, which is the first AppleTalk specification, was developed in the early 1980s strictly for use in local workgroups.
The AppleTalk Filing Protocol (AFP) is implemented at the presentation and application layers of the AppleTalk protocol suite.

 Apple Talk Protocol suite - AARP | DDP | RTMP | AEP | ATP | NBP | ZIP | ASP | PAP | ADSP | AFP
AppleTalk is a multi-layered protocol providing internetwork routing, transaction and data stream service, naming service, and comprehensive file and print sharing.
AppleTalk Phase 2 differs primarily in the range of available network layer addresses and the use of the IEEE 802.2 Logical Link Control (LLC) protocol at the Data Link Layer.
AppleTalk Phase 2 allows for split horizon routing where the protocol transfers only routing data about directly connected networks in an effort to reduce the traffic overhead imposed by routing updates.

 AppleTalk Environment
AFP is an application-level support protocol that allows Macintosh users to share files.
When users request an AppleTalk service in the Macintosh Chooser application, NBP is responsible for broadcasting the request in the selected zone and displaying the names of responding services in the Chooser.
AppleTalk routers on the internetwork that use RTMP continuously maintain their routing tables by exchanging RTMP packets.

 Presentation layer - Open Encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
The presentation layer is the first one where people start to care about what they are sending at a more advanced level than just a bunch of ones and zeros.
In many widely used applications and protocols, no distinction is made between the presentation and application layers.
For example, HTTP, generally regarded as an application layer protocol, has presentation layer aspects such as the ability to identify character encodings for proper conversion, which is then done in the application layer.

AFP - AppleTalk Filing protocol makes network files appear local by managing file sharing at the presentation layer.

 The Appletalk Protocol - Final Project CS337 - Chris Ashworth
This document is intended to provide an introduction to the AppleTalk protocol stack, with specific focus on describing its characteristics as a set of protocols and comparing it to other networking models such as the OSI reference model and the TCP/IP reference model.
The main function of the LAP Manager is to act as a switching mechanism that connects the AppleTalk link-access protocol for the link type that the user selects to both the higher-level AppleTalk protocols and the lower-level hardware device driver for that data link.
AppleTalk, like IP, is based upon a best-effort datagram delivery, relying on higher protocols to establish reliable connection-oriented communication.

 Glossary of Network Terms - PCNS   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
On the OSI model, AppleTalk is comparable to NetWare communications protocols, in that both protocols specify communications, ranging from application interfaces to media access.
Different operating systems have different conventions for naming files, but with multiple name space support, the name spaces supported on a volume are configurable so that each file on a given volume has a name that any workstation can recognize.
A peer-to-peer communication method (or protocol) defines only the basic mechanisms used to transfer data; it need not specify when or why peer application programs or nodes interact or how communication between such applications or nodes should be organized in a distributed environment.

 Alternatives to Appletalk   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
TCP is replacing Appletalk as the transport protocol of choice for AFP (Appletalk Filing Protocol) packets, as of version 2.1 of the AFP.
Just as AFP data packets are encapsulated in Appletalk packets for transmission over the network, the same data can be encapsulated in IP packets.
Thus, peer-to-peer file sharing requires a server-based product which then acts as a central file repository (i.e., not truly peer-to-peer in the strict sense), or a third-party product which enables each client Macintosh to also act as an AFP server.
