AppleTalk is a suite of protocols defined by Apple Computer, Inc., for
connecting computers, peripherals devices, and other equipment to a
network. AppleTalk protocols support most of the functions offered by
the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Reference Model.
The AppleTalk protocols work together to provide file sharing and printer
sharing, as well as applications like electronic mail and database access.
All Macintosh computers have AppleTalk connectivity options built into
them, which makes it the de facto standard for Apple networks.
