4.4 Enough Already

We could dig deeper. We could provide finer detail. We could, for instance, discuss the design, implementation, care, and feeding of a full-scale NBNS... but not now. It's getting late and we still have a lot of NBT ground to cover. Go ahead and take a quick break. Hug the spouse, make a fresh pot of tea, visit the facilities, scratch the dog, and then we'll move on to the Datagram Service.

When you get back, we will start by overstating one of the key points of this section: that the purpose of the Name Service is to create a virtual NetBIOS LAN on top of a TCP/IP (inter)network.
