RE: why there are so many IPX traffic in my network [7:9045]
IPX runs at layer 3. There's no question of that. Perhaps the confusing thing is that IPX layer-3 addresses consist of network.MAC. The node part of the address is the same as the layer-2 NIC address, also known as MAC or hardware address. This means that IPX doesn't need an ARP. If you know the Layer-3 address, you know the Layer-2 address also. Above IPX, the most common Novell protocol is NetWare Core Protocol (NCP) used by file servers. Print servers use SPX. It's a myth that NCP uses SPX. It doesn't.

It's only concern is internetwork addressing and intranode addressing (sockets). IPX completely relies on the network hardware for the actual node addressing. (i.e. it uses the MAC address to complete an address) IPX is a datagram-based, connectionless protocol. Datagram-based, connectionless protocols do not require an acknowledgment for each packet sent. Packet acknowledgment, or connection control, must be provided by protocols above IPX IPX accomplishes these and other Network-layer tasks with the help of RIP, SAP, and NLSP Wouldn't all of these statements imply that IPX can be it's own transport, and therefore be considered Layer 4 as well? IPX RIP does path determination. Doesn't IPX RIP simply act as a routing protocol like IP RIP? Aside from allowing routing to share routes, IPX RIP doesn't actually perform the path determination does it? (i.e. the router still looks in the routing table at routes for path determination whether they're static, redistributed, or learned via IPX RIP) By default, the Cisco IOS software redistributes IPX RIP routes into Enhanced IGRP, and vice versa. Please clarify, because I don't know tons about IPX/SPX and how they divy up the functions of path determination, etc. that well.. IPX does HAVE to use SPX for transport. Not sure if that was a typo, but IPX does NOT have to use SPX for transport. Most packets in an IPX network do not have an SPX header. You're right, it was a typo =) However, from my (again, limited) understanding, most everyday communications over IPX/SPX would need reliable transport (communications for login to servers, getting files and running applications from servers, etc..) and would need the SPX for reliability, correct?

The way I look at Novell is that there are three APIs: Application layer: NCP Session layer: NetBIOS Transport layer:SPX Resource location is defined for NCP with SAP/GNS, with the NetBIOS name service for NetBIOS, and is undefined for SPX.

IPX completely relies on the network hardware for the actual node addressing. (i.e. it uses the MAC address to complete an address) IPX is a datagram-based, connectionless protocol. Datagram-based, connectionless protocols do not require an acknowledgment for each packet sent. Packet acknowledgment, or connection control, must be provided by protocols above IPX IPX accomplishes these and other Network-layer tasks with the help of RIP, SAP, and NLSP Wouldn't all of these statements imply that IPX can be it's own transport, and therefore be considered Layer 4 as well? IPX is its own transport. That doesn't make it layer 4. IP is its own transport. It's not layer 4. There are cases of protocols that run directly over IP, without TCP or UDP, (ICMP, IGMP, OSPF, IGRP, etc.), just like there are cases of protocols that run directly over IPX without SPX (NCP, RIP, SAP). IPX RIP does path determination. Doesn't IPX RIP simply act as a routing protocol like IP RIP? Yes. Aside from allowing routing to share routes, IPX RIP doesn't actually perform the path determination does it? (i.e. the router still looks in the routing table at routes for path determination whether they're static, redistributed, or learned via IPX RIP) When forwarding frames, the router looks in the routing table for the next hop. The routing protocol does path determination, at least the way Cisco uses the term path determination. The routing protocol learns how to reach remote networks. But we're just mincing words now. The bottom line is that Novell protocols aren't anything special. If you know IP, you can learn IPX. I would say the only weird things are the sockets in the IPX header (but DDP has sockets too, so that's not unique) and that the common file-sharing protocol (NCP) runs right on top of IPX. It does not use SPX. NCP does its own sequencing, acknowledgements, flow control (with burst mode) even though it is supposedly an application-layer protocol. Priscilla By default, the Cisco IOS software redistributes IPX RIP routes into Enhanced IGRP, and vice versa. Please clarify, because I don't know tons about IPX/SPX and how they divy up the functions of path determination, etc. that well.. IPX does HAVE to use SPX for transport. Not sure if that was a typo, but IPX does NOT have to use SPX for transport. Most packets in an IPX network do not have an SPX header. You're right, it was a typo =) However, from my (again, limited) understanding, most everyday communications over IPX/SPX would need reliable transport (communications for login to servers, getting files and running applications from servers, etc..) and would need the SPX for reliability, correct?
