If you want to be pedantic (and, on this list we should be),
discussing the routability of NetBIOS is non-sensical. NetBIOS is a
session layer protocol. It would be like discussing the routability of
TCP or UDP. By themselves, these protocols only have port numbers,
they don't have node addresses. As someone else has mentioned, you
really need to look at the underlying protocol. NetBIOS over TCP/IP
(aka NBT) is, of course, completely routable, since TCP/IP is a
routable protocol. NetBIOS over NetBEUI isn't routable as NetBEUI is a
datalink layer protocol (i.e. it has hosts addresses and doesn't have
any way of doing network addressing, so its addresses are for the local
segment only, ala Ethernet MAC addresses) and must be bridged.
