Encapsulating

NetBIOS can be used to encapsulate other protocols by providing a virtual circuit over which other protocols can be transmitted. This is the opposite situation to those described above where other protocols provide the transport for NetBIOS.

Transmission of IP Datagrams over NetBIOS Networks

A standard method of encapsulating the Internet Protocol (IP) datagrams on NetBIOS networks is described in:
