AppleTalk Desktop Protocol
Apple Computer designed the AppleTalk network system in the early 1980s to
connect Macintosh computers with printers and file servers. Initially,
Apple's customers deployed AppleTalk in small workgroups, but the
developers of AppleTalk considered versatility one of their main goals,
and they made it possible for enterprises to evolve their AppleTalk LANs
into large, diverse internetworks. While most of these internetworks are
migrating to IP today, AppleTalk remains in use, particularly in
scientific communities, universities, and environments where multimedia
content is created.
