Random information on the term “SAMBA”:

NetBIOS (/ˈnɛtbaɪɒs/) is an acronym for Network Basic Input/Output System. It provides services related to the session layer of the OSI model allowing applications on separate computers to communicate over a local area network. As strictly an API, NetBIOS is not a networking protocol. Older operating systems[clarification needed] ran NetBIOS over IEEE 802.2 and IPX/SPX using the NetBIOS Frames (NBF) and NetBIOS over IPX/SPX (NBX) protocols, respectively. In modern networks, NetBIOS normally runs over TCP/IP via the NetBIOS over TCP/IP (NBT) protocol. This results in each computer in the network having both an IP address and a NetBIOS name corresponding to a (possibly different) host name.

NetBIOS is an OSI Session Layer 5 Protocol and a service that allows applications on computers to communicate with one another over a local area network (LAN). It is a non-routable Protocol and NetBIOS stands for Network Basic Input/Output System. NetBIOS was developed in 1983 by Sytek Inc. as an API for software communication over IBM PC Network LAN technology.[1] On PC-Network, as an API alone, NetBIOS relied on proprietary Sytek networking protocols for communication over the wire.[citation needed] Despite supporting a maximum of 80 PCs in a LAN, NetBIOS became an industry standard.[1]
