Introduction

This page contains a large number of resource links that points to tutorials, RFCs, papers, lecture notes of various university courses about "AppleTalk Protocol Stack". In addition to lecture notes we also listed some online free books which can be downloaded.

RFC

• AppleTalk Management Information Base - RFC 1243.
  
  This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB) for use with network management protocols in TCP/IP-based internets. In particular, it defines objects for managing AppleTalk networks. click here
• AppleTalk Management Information Base II - RFC 1742.
  
  This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB) for use with network management protocols in TCP/IP-based internets. In particular, it defines objects for managing AppleTalk networks. click here
• The PPP AppleTalk Control Protocol (ATCP) - RFC 1378.
  
  This document defines the NCP for establishing and configuring the AppleTalk Protocol [3] over PPP. This memo is a joint effort of the AppleTalk-IP Working Group and the Point-to-Point Protocol Working Group of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). click here
• Appletalk Update-Based Routing Protocol: Enhanced Appletalk Routing - RFC 1504.
  
  This document provides detailed information about the AppleTalk Update-based Routing Protocol (AURP) and wide area routing. AURP provides wide area routing enhancements to the AppleTalk routing protocols and is fully compatible with AppleTalk Phase 2. click here

Tutorials

• Apple Developer Resources - Apple Computers.
  
  A great source for developers from the makers in the form of documentation,reference library and API.Networking capabilities in Mac OS X include support for the major protocols and services. Developers can gain access to them through sockets and Core Foundation, as well as through the higher-level Carbon and Cocoa APIs. click here
• AppleTalk Documentation - Cisco.
  
  This tutorial describes the development history of the AppleTalk protocol, used almost exclusively in Macintosh computers.Describe the components of AppleTalk networks and extended network. Discuss the primary characteristics of the AppleTalk protocol. Discuss the addressing methods of AppleTalk. Describe additional protocols implemented in AppleTalk networks, including protocols used in the upper layers of the OSI reference model. click here
• AppleTalk Tutorial - Priscilla Oppenheimer .
  
  A good tutorial for people who are preparing for Network Certificate Exams. The topics include archetecture, addressing, protocols, access lists, traffic controlling, troubleshooting. click here
• AppleTalk Packages - University of Melbourne.
  
  The following AppleTalk-related Macintosh and UNIX packages were developed in, or are maintained by, the Department of Computer Science and Software Engineering at the University of Melbourne. click here
• AppleTalk Protocols - protocols.com.
  
  A simple and excellend material on AppleTalk protocol suite which covers overview of layered architecture in the suite and includes in depth coverage of each and every protocol including frame structures. click here
• AppleTalk on the Urbana-Champaign Campus - Urbana-Champaign Campus.
  
  This document is a basic guide to the AppleTalk networking protocol as it is used on the UIUC campus. The general uses of AppleTalk, security and configuration issues, and how to get connected to the larger campus AppleTalk network are discussed. The method of calculating AppleTalk addresses that is used on campus is explained. Definitions of many AppleTalk terms are provided in Appendix C. click here
• Routing in AppleTalk - Cisco.
  
  This document describe background information about SMRP. Define the terms used in SMRP networking. Describe the functional characteristics of SMRP, including management, transaction, and packet format. click here
• Cisco IOS AppleTalk Configuration Guide, Release 12.4 - Cisco.
  
  An excellent resource to the people who are looking for practical networking with AppleTalk. The listing covers overview of AppleTalk in CiscoIOS, configuring Appletalk, and many more. click here
• Introduction to AppleTalk routing - Ascend Communications.
  
  Topics include Introduction to AppleTalk routing, Understanding how AppleTalk works, Configuring an AppleTalk connection with RADIUS, Reading more about AppleTalk. click here
• NeTalk - OpenSource.
  
  Netatalk is a freely-available, kernel level implementation of the AppleTalk Protocol Suite, originally for BSD-derived systems. A *NIX/*BSD system running netatalk is capable of serving many macintosh clients simultaneously as an AppleTalk router, AppleShare file server (AFP), *NIX/*BSD print server, and for accessing AppleTalk printers via Printer Access Protocol (PAP). Included are a number of minor printing and debugging utilities. click here
• Xinet® Administration Guide - CEPBA.
  
  K–Talk® is a communication protocol implementation which provides AppleTalk services on UNIX. It resides on a UNIX host that is connected to an Ethernet or FDDI network. K-Talk supports the AppleTalk protocols to allow Macintosh computers and UNIX systems to share resources. UNIX system AppleTalk server processes, such as the K–Spool printer server, use K–Talk to communicate with other AppleTalk devices such as LaserWriters and Macintoshes. K-Talk includes UNIX kernel modifications or loadable drivers, daemons, administrative files, and utilities that monitor and manage server processes and resources. click here
• AppleTalk Frequently Asked Questions - Cisco.
  
  This document addresses common questions about AppleTalk. click here
• Configuring AppleTalk - Foundry Enterprise Configuration and Management Guide .
  
  This chapter describes how to configure AppleTalk on Foundry Layer 3 Switches using the CLI and the Web management interface. Foundry Layer 3 Switches support Phase II of AppleTalk routing. click here
• AppleTalk-ing - Mac512.com.
  
  Connecting Macintoshes together is a dream that many Mac users have. The ability to play networkable games have been around since about 1985. Sharing files through a network is faster than - copying them to a disk, and bringing them over to another Mac and copying them again. click here
