Protocols

NetWare client-server communications are governed by a series of protocols. These protocols can be divided by functionality:

• protocols used for all communications, such as the medium-access protocols and the Internetwork Packet Exchange protocol

• administrative protocols, such as the Routing Information Protocol and the Service Advertising Protocol

• protocols concerned with connection control, such as the NetWare Core Protocol and Watchdog

• protocols that define the coding of service requests, such as the NetWare Core Protocol

• SCO TCP/IP

• SCO GOSIP

• Microsoft® LAN Manager

The following table describes which protocols are used and supported by SCO IPX/SPX:

The information presented in the following sections is technical in nature and is most valuable to those individuals designing, implementing, or administering NetWare networks. It is also useful to individuals and organizations developing applications specifically for NetWare. The sections provide:

• An overview of general packet structure and the OSI model.

• A description of each protocol that makes client-server communications on NetWare networks possible, including the Medium-access protocol, the Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX) protocol, the Routing Information Protocol (RIP), and the Service Advertising Protocol (SAP).

For detailed information on Novell networks, see the Novell documentation.
