AppleTalk

Apple's local area network architecture introduced in 1985. It supports Apple's proprietary LocalTalk access method as well as Ethernet and Token Ring. The AppleTalk network manager and the LocalTalk access method are built into all Macintoshes and LaserWriters. With other products from Apple and third parties, support for AppleTalk has been made available for PCs, VAXs and Unix workstations. Patterned after the OSI model, AppleTalk is a routable protocol. See AFP.

(networking, protocol)Appletalk - A proprietary local area network protocol developed by Apple Computer, Inc. for communication between Apple products (e.g. Macintosh) and other computers. This protocol is independent of the network layer on which it runs. Current implementations exist for Localtalk, a 235 kilobyte per second local area network and Ethertalk, a 10 megabyte per second local area network.
