AppleTalk is a communications network system that interconnects computers and devices to exchange information. It uses various hardware and software to connect workstations, file servers, printers, and modems. AppleTalk assigns addresses to nodes when they connect to the network using protocols like LocalTalk, TokenTalk, EtherTalk, and FDDITalk. While it was simple to set up and maintain small networks, AppleTalk had disadvantages like slow speeds and lack of scalability for large networks. As TCP/IP rose in popularity during the 1990s, most network services moved to that protocol. AppleTalk is now discontinued as a proprietary networking protocol by Apple, though some legacy systems may still rely on it.

3. Introduction
AppleTalk is a communications network
system interconnecting personal
computer workstations, computers acting
as file servers and print servers, printers,
and shared modems allowing them to
exchange information through a variety of
types of communications hardware and
software.

4. Rules and engagement
if it is being used then it
tries another
if it is being used then
it tries another.
looks for a stored
address that it used in a
previous session.
then it broadcasts the
address to make sure no
other computer is using it.
if it isn't being used then it
stores the address to
potentially be used again
when it returns online the
next time

5. Network components
LocalTalk, TokenTalk,
EtherTalk, and FDDITalk
networks.
AppleTalk assigns a node
ID to a node when it
connects to the network.
AppleTalk is a
proprietary
networking protocol
LocalTalk, TokenTalk,
EtherTalk, and FDDITalk
networks.
Transmission Control
Protocol (TCP) Internet
Protocol (IP) User Datagram
Protocol (UDP) Post office
Protocol (POP)
AppleTalk lower-layer (layer 1
and 2 of OSI model)

6. Implication of the end of
apple talk routing You may determine the
network that a host
belongs to as well as where
that host is located on that
network by using the
addressing scheme
A routed protocol allows for
data routing. IP and AppleTalk
are two examples of routed
protocols. An addressing
method is necessary for such
a protocol.
The rise of TCP/IP during
the 1990s led to a
reimplementation of
most of these types of
support on that protocol
If they cannot be replaced,
they need to be placed on
the RIT network with
forethought.

7. Advantages
The main advantage of
AppleTalk was that it was
completely maintenance-
free
Setting up a small
workgroup is simple
and inexpensive
Easy to implement and
configure,Apple
automatically includes
AppleTalk in the Macintosh
operating system.

8. Disadvantages
• It is not suitable for
very large network
• It is very slow compared
to other LAN links at
230.4 kb

9. Conclusion
AppleTalk is a discontinued proprietary
suite of networking protocols developed
by Apple Computer for their Macintosh
computers. AppleTalk includes a number
of features that allow local area
networks to be connected with no prior
setup or the need for a centralized router
or server of any sort.
