What Does NETBEUI Stand For?
NETBEUI stands for NetBIOS Extended User Interface
NETBEUI, or NetBIOS Extended User Interface, is a networking protocol designed primarily for small, local area networks (LANs). Developed by IBM and Microsoft, it extends the capabilities of the NetBIOS protocol by providing enhanced features for communication between computers. NETBEUI is characterized by its simplicity and ease of use, as it does not require extensive configuration, making it suitable for peer-to-peer networking environments. However, it is limited in scalability and is generally not used in larger network configurations due to its reliance on broadcasts for communication.
