NON-ROUTABLE PROTOCOLS cannot survive being routed. Non-routable protocols presume that allcomputers they will ever communicate with are on the same network (to get them working in a routed environment, you must bridge the networks). Todays modern networks are not very tolerant of protocols that do not understand the concept of a multi-segment network and most of these protocols are dying or falling out of use.
NetBIOS Frames (NBF) protocol is non routable.
A non-routable protocol has less overhead and processing to do, and is more compact. This leads to faster transmission.
NetBEUI is the only listed protocol that is not routable; the rest are.
A routable protocol contains a network address as well as a device address. Non-routable protocol, on the other hand, regulate the transfer of data and always makes use of interior routing system to transmit data.
Network Layer
A routing protocol refers to a protocol that is only used between routers, such as OSPF and EIGRP. A routed protocol, meanwhile, refers to a protocol wherein data can be routed, such a IP, AppleTalk, and IPX.
There are two types of Protocols according to mechanism:Routable & Non RoutableNon Routable protocols work on Broadcast & doesn't maintain tables whereas Routable (Routed) protocols are designed to work in larger networks & tables are maintained dynamically on Network devices.Internet is vast & constitutes multiple Networks. Routable Protocols route information across Internet devices between Source to Destination Network.
IPX/SPX : Routable // TCP/IP : Routable // NetBEUI : Not Routable
when is NetBIOS routable
No, not all protocols are routable.
DECnet from Digital Equipment Corporation is a suite of protocols which may be used on large networks that integrate mainframe and minicomputer systems. It is a routable protocol. DNA - Digital Network Architecture.
Because it is not IP based.
