AppleTalk is a set of local area network communication protocols
originally created for Apple computers. An AppleTalk network can support up to 32 devices and data
can be exchanged at a speed of 230.4 kilobits per second (Kbps).
Devices can be as much as 1,000 feet apart. AppleTalk's Datagram Delivery Protocol corresponds
closely to the Network
layer of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI)
communication model.
