  An Inside Look at SPX Communications between RPRINTER/ NPRINTER and the NetWare Print Server
An analysis of these packets provides an inside look at the information that is exchanged when the remote printer module initially connects to the print server, when a print job is sent to the print server, and when the print services connection is in an idle state.
Packet 871 is in response to the data sent to the print server in Packet 869, which told the print server that NPRINTER had one empty buffer.
Packet 873 is a system packet that is an acknowledgement to Packet 871, when NPRINTER received new data from the print server and the print server sent a Send ACK call in the Connection Control field.

 Protocols
To move a packet to the proper node on a network, a medium-access control (MAC) header is placed at the beginning of every packet.
Any packets IPX receives that are addressed to that socket are passed on to the corresponding process.
A response packet can be either a reply to a request from a router or workstation or a periodic broadcast by a router.

 IPX network protocol, ipx sap, novell netware network
At the network layer the Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX) is used to provide a connectionless service, and at the transport layer Sequenced Packet Exchange (SPX) is used for services requiring connections.
Normally the maximum packet size when going through a router is 576 bytes, however LIP has a limit of 4202 bytes although this is configurable downwards dependant on the physical interface.
Bay Networks routers use a boxwide services table rather than a bindery and when the router receives a SAP packet, it compares the contents to that of the service table and resets the age timer to zero if there is a match, or adds the new entry.

 Protocol: IPX ( Internet Packet Exchange )   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
IPX makes a best effort attempt to deliver packets to their destination; there is no guarantee or verification of successful delivery.
If zero (0) is used for the network address, the packet is sent to the network to which the source host is connected.
Packets with a network address of zero (0) are typically used to query SAP for the address and name of the nearest server.

 [No title]
Under the normal circumstances, the packet ultimately arrives at a router directly connected to the destination station and the packet is delivered.
The Sequenced packet Exchange (SPX) is Novell's transport layer protocol and was derived from Xerox's Sequenced Packet Protocol (SPP).
The SAP packet is put in the data area of the IPX packet, and the scoket address of 452h is used to identify if as an SAP packet.

 TCP/IP
Packet is sent from router to router via best path according to routing tables, based on destination network number.
A mask is a binary 32 bit number that has a '1' in all bit positions that have to be examined in a packet IP address and '0' in all bit portions that don't have to be examined, to determine what is the 'network' portion of the address.
You see, when a packet is to be allowed into the network or subnetwork by a router, the router has to find if the network portion of the datagram address coincides with its own.

 Novell SPX: Sequenced Packet Exchange protocol
The Sequenced Packet Exchange (SPX), is Novell's legacy transport layer protocol providing a packet delivery service for Novell NetWare network.
SPX prepares the sequence of packets that a message is divided into and manages the reassembly of received packets, confirming that all have been received and requesting retransmission when they haven"t.
SPX works directly with the Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX), which manages the forwarding of packets in the network.

 The Networking Essentials
To insulate the transmission from the other ports, the switch establishes a temporary connection between the source and destination, and then terminates the connection when the conversation is done.
Layer 3 protocols are designed to handle the tasks of route determination, packet fragmentation and reassembly, address assignment on the network level (such as IP), and packet forwarding.
Simply put, over Ethernet, a user can send data packets only when no other packets are traveling on the network—when the network is "quiet." Otherwise, it waits to transmit, as a person might wait for another to speak during a conversation.

 Lesson 3: NetWare Protocols   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
After the packet has been transmitted and is on the media, each network card checks the address; if their address matches the destination address on the packet, or, if the packet is a broadcast message, the NIC copies the packet and sends it up the protocol stack.
With the CRC appended to the packet, it is virtually certain that all the packets will be free of corruption.
However, in RIP, an extra field of data was added to the packet to improve the decision criteria for selecting the fastest route to a destination.

 Microsoft Security Bulletin (MS00-054)
Routers frequently are configured to drop IPX packets, and if such a router lay between the malicious user and an affected machine, he could not attack it.
As discussed in the FAQ, the most likely scenario in which this vulnerability could be exploited would be one in which a malicious user on an intranet would attack affected machines on the same intranet, or one in which a malicious user on the Internet attacked affected machines on his cable modem or DSL subnet.
When one machine needs to "ping" another machine, it sends a data packet that indicates the source and destination address (among other information), and indicates that a Ping is being requested.

 ABXZone.com - Securing Windows XP
Unlike static packet filtering, which examines a packet based on the information in its header, stateful inspection tracks each connection traversing all interfaces of the firewall and makes sure they are valid.
An example of a stateful firewall may examine not just the header information but also the contents of the packet up through the application layer in order to determine more about the packet than just information about its source and destination.
Because of this, filtering decisions are based not only on administrator-defined rules (as in static packet filtering) but also on context that has been established by prior packets that have passed through the firewall.
