A document has been produced that describes NetBIOS, NetBEUI, NBF, SMB, and CIFS networking.
This document is primarily concerned with the networking protocols rather than specific implementations such as Samba, which are well documented elsewhere. Network programming (and discussion of the various APIs) is also outside the scope of this documentation.
This document has evolved from a collection of on-line web pages. Because a number of sites have established links to the original on-line pages, these will be preserved. However the original web pages will not be updated and should be regarded as obsolite; the reader is refered to the new documentation.
The original document is available:
