Detailed explanation-1: -D. Sometimes a protocol suite such as TCP/IP is referred to as a protocol stack.
Detailed explanation-2: -The difference is that the boundary between network and node part of address in IP is variable, while in IPX it is fixed. As the node address is usually identical to the MAC address of the network adapter, the Address Resolution Protocol is not needed in IPX.
Detailed explanation-3: -ipxtunnel provides a bridge-like facility for IPX by allowing IPX packets to be encapsulated with tcp/ip datagrams so that they can be carried by a tcp/ip connection. It listens for IPX packets and when it hears one it wraps it within a tcp/ip datagram and routes it to a remote IP address that you specify.
Detailed explanation-4: -In the OSI model, IPX is the network layer protocol in the Internetwork Packet Exchange/Sequenced Packet Exchange (IPX/SPX) protocol stack, which is primarily used on Novell Netware operating systems. IPX provides peer-to-peer support connectivity.
