 Star/Bus 

Configuration 

This standard combines two topologies, where groups of workstations connected into 
stars are linked in the same manner as individual workstations on a bus. 
 

Protocols 

 TCP/IP 

TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) combines two protocols, i.e. 
TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) and IP (Internet Protocol). TCP is responsible for 
the connection to the terminal system, supporting flow control, packet receipt 
acknowledgement, packet sequencing, checksum validation and resending. IP defines 
packet format and addressing. The address space and IP address format depend on IP 
version:

 NetBEUI 

NetBEUI is supported by the Microsoft Windows family of systems (from Windows for 
Workgroups onwards), and is closely related to NetBIOS, providing transport services as 
requested by NetBIOS. 

 NetBIOS 

NetBIOS is an interface designed for programmers who develop IBM LAN Server, 
Microsoft LAN Manager and OS/2 local area networking software. 
It establishes communications sessions between computers and manages the 
connections. 

 IPX 

IPX is a peer-to-peer networking protocol built into Novell NetWare. 
 

Organizational units 

 Workgroups 

Workgroups provide a simple method for organizing computers and users on a local area 
network into logical groupings. They support the definition of various privileges for 
individual groups, and make it easier to manage the network. 

 Domains 

Like workgroups, domains are designed to facilitate network management. The hierarchy 
of domains is similar to that of a nation, with the country (main domain), states 
(subdomains of the main domain), counties (subdomains of subdomains), and so on. 
Depending on its place in the hierarchy, each domain can have different privileges, which 
helps enforce network security.  
 

Other 

 DHCP 

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) supports automatic TCP/IP configuration 
(IP address assignment, DNS configuration, default gateway configuration, etc.). A DHCP 
server assigns arbitrary IP addresses to computers using a specific pool, or specific 
settings, depending on configuration.
