-NetBEUI is a rather weird protocol. There are about three different set
-of connection and name spaces here.
-
-Firstly we have an array of 802.2 LLC links acting as reliable inter node
-links for the nodes we are talking to do. We create and tear these down as
-needed. In effect it goes around pretending ethernet is a set of bits of
-wire and running pseudo X.25 over it. The LLC code is elsewhere (net/802).
-
-Secondly we have the netbios name space. When we sit on multiple networks
-we have fun. Netbios isnt routable, so we have to arse around looking on
-all our devices for names.
-
-Thirdly we have logical netbeui sessions on top of the whole heap.
-
- *Don't blame us*
-
-We didn't design the protocol.
