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.
