NetBEUI Addressing
In terms of addressing, NetBEUI is perhaps the simplest of all the protocols discussed here. For this reason, it is still sometimes used on very small simple networks such as those found in a home or on very small business networks. Computers on a NetBEUI network are identified by NetBIOS names. The NetBIOS name can be no longer than 15 characters and must be unique to the network. Using the 15 characters, you can assign the computers descriptive names such as workstation, student1, or secretary2.
