Fill in the blank with the appropriate term. The _____________is an application layer protocol that
is used between workstations and routers for transporting SNA/NetBIOS traffic over TCP
sessions.
Answer: DCAP
Explanation:
The Data Link Switching Client Access Protocol (DCAP) is an application layer protocol that is
used between workstations and routers for transporting SNA/NetBIOS traffic over TCP sessions. It
was introduced in order to address a few deficiencies by the Data Link Switching Protocol (DLSw).
The DLSw raises the important issues of scalability and efficiency, and since DLSw is a switch-toswitch protocol, it is not efficient when implemented on workstations. DCAP was introduced in
order to address these issues.
