Lesson Summary

■

TCP/IP is the industry standard protocol suite at the network and transport layers.

Because it has a self-contained addressing system, TCP/IP can support any type of

computer network and is expandable to almost any size.

■

The IPX protocol suite is designed for use with the Novell NetWare operating sys-

tem, but Windows can also use it for its own file sharing.

■

NetBEUI is a relatively simple protocol that supports Windows file sharing on

small networks, but it is not routable and is therefore unsuitable for internetwork

installations.
