Network Protocols
The A+ Certification Exams expect you to understand the major features of the four leading network protocols:
TCP/IP
NetBEUI/NetBIOS
IPX/SPX
AppleTalk
Although most current networks are based on TCP/IP, you might encounter the others in some older networks. The following sections cover the major features of these networks.
