AppleTalk is a multi-layer protocol launched by Apple, supports network routing, transaction services, data stream services, and domain name services, and fully implements files and print shared services between Apple systems through the localtalk interface in Apple hardware. Other network media (such as Ethernet) and AppleTalk can be implemented by Ethernet bridges. Widnews are provided with Localtalk or Apple mechanisms. In addition, the AppleTalk protocol contains many third-party applications.
An AppleTalk network can support up to 32 computer devices, and the data conversion rate can reach 230.4 Kbps. Can be 1000 feet between each device. In the physical layer, AppleTalk is a network with bus topology, and each of the connecting modules is connected to each other by a relay cable.
For all systems on the network bus, Localtalk link access protocols are common, and the protocol is responsible for processing nodes to nodes between each device connected to a single AppleTalk network (Node-to-Node) Data transfer service. In addition, the agreement defines the Ethernet, the Token Ring, and the fiber distributed data interface (FDDI).
