NetBIOS node types.
Values
| Enum Value | Description |
|---|---|
|
|
Broadcast ("B") nodes. Broadcast (or "B") nodes communicate using a mix of UDP datagrams (both broadcast and directed) and TCP connections. B nodes may freely interoperate with one another within a broadcast area. A broadcast area is a single MAC-bridged "B-LAN". (See Appendix A for a discussion of using Internet Group Multicasting as a means to extend a broadcast area beyond a single B-LAN.) |
|
|
Point-to-point ("P") nodes. Point-to-point (or "P") nodes communicate using only directed UDP datagrams and TCP sessions. P nodes neither generate nor listen for broadcast UDP packets. P nodes do, however, offer NetBIOS level broadcast and multicast services using capabilities provided by the NBNS and NBDD. |
|
|
Mixed mode ("M") nodes. Mixed mode nodes (or "M") nodes are P nodes which have been given certain B node characteristics. M nodes use both broadcast and unicast. Broadcast is used to improve response time using the assumption that most resources reside on the local broadcast medium rather than somewhere in an internet. |
|
|
Unknown set is when the server responded with a reserved unknown and undefined type as described in RFC1001 or RFC10002. Different vendors may use it for their own purposes. |
