Columbia AppleTalk Package definition
networking (CAP) An implementation of
Apple Computer's
AppleTalk protocols for
Unix 4.2BSD and its derivatives, from
Columbia University. There are two different
LAP delivery mechanisms for:
IPTalk and
Ethertalk (possibly using
UAB).
CAP supports the following
AppleTalk protocols:
AppleTalk Transaction Protocol (ATP),
Name Binding Protocol (NBP),
Printer Access Protocol (PAP),
AppleTalk Session Protocol (ASP),
AppleTalk Filing Protocol (AFP) client side. In addition, the
Datagram Delivery Protocol (DDP) and
Zone Information Protocol (ZIP) are partially available. The structure of the
Internet Appletalk Bridge software makes it impossible to provide full DDP service. Only the Get Zone List ATP ZIP command is implemented for ZIP.
