The
Appletalk transport protocol is the original protocol that
Apple Macintosh computers used to communicate with each other. This originally worked at about 115
Kbps[?] over Appletalk hardware. Once the Appletalk protocol was converted to talk over
ethernet it was called
Ethertalk[?].
Connecting an original macintosh computer to an ethernet network requires an Ethertalk to Appletalk
bridge.
