Network Working Group Request for Comments: 1002 March, 1987 PROTOCOL STANDARD FOR A NetBIOS SERVICE ON A TCP/UDP TRANSPORT: DETAILED SPECIFICATIONS ABSTRACT This RFC defines a proposed standard protocol to support NetBIOS services in a TCP/IP environment. Both local network and internet operation are supported. Various node types are defined to accommodate local and internet topologies and to allow operation with or without the use of IP broadcast. This RFC gives the detailed specifications of the NetBIOS-over-TCP packets, protocols, and defined constants and variables. A more general overview is found in a companion RFC, "Protocol Standard For a NetBIOS Service on a TCP/UDP Transport: Concepts and Methods".

INTRODUCTION This RFC contains the detailed packet formats and protocol specifications for NetBIOS-over-TCP. This RFC is a companion to RFC 1001, "Protocol Standard For a NetBIOS Service on a TCP/UDP Transport: Concepts and Methods" [1]. 4. PACKET DESCRIPTIONS Bit and byte ordering are defined by the most recent version of "Assigned Numbers" [2]. 4.1. NAME FORMAT The NetBIOS name representation in all NetBIOS packets (for NAME, SESSION, and DATAGRAM services) is defined in the Domain Name Service RFC 883[3] as "compressed" name messages. This format is called "second-level encoding" in the section entitled "Representation of NetBIOS Names" in the Concepts and Methods document. For ease of description, the first two paragraphs from page 31, the section titled "Domain name representation and compression", of RFC 883 are replicated here: Domain names messages are expressed in terms of a sequence of labels. Each label is represented as a one octet length field followed by that number of octets. Since every domain name ends with the null label of the root, a compressed domain name is terminated by a length byte of zero. The high order two bits of the length field must be zero, and the remaining six bits of the length field limit the label to 63 octets or less. To simplify implementations, the total length of label octets and label length octets that make up a domain name is restricted to 255 octets or less. The following is the uncompressed representation of the NetBIOS name "FRED ", which is the 4 ASCII characters, F, R, E, D, followed by 12 space characters (0x20). This name has the SCOPE_ID: "NETBIOS.COM" EGFCEFEECACACACACACACACACACACACA.NETBIOS.COM This uncompressed representation of names is called "first-level encoding" in the section entitled "Representation of NetBIOS Names" in the Concepts and Methods document. The following is a pictographic representation of the compressed representation of the previous uncompressed Domain Name representation.

A label can be a maximum of 63 bytes. The first byte of a label in compressed representation is the number of bytes in the label. For the above example, the first 0x20 is the number of bytes in the left-most label, EGFCEFEECACACACACACACACACACACACA, of the domain name. The bytes following the label length count are the characters of the label. The following labels are in sequence after the first label, which is the encoded NetBIOS name, until a zero (0x00) length count. The zero length count represents the root label, which is always null. A label length count is actually a 6-bit field in the label length field. The most significant 2 bits of the field, bits 7 and 6, are flags allowing an escape from the above compressed representation. If bits 7 and 6 are both set (11), the following 14 bits are an offset pointer into the full message to the actual label string from another domain name that belongs in this name. This label pointer allows for a further compression of a domain name in a packet. NetBIOS implementations can only use label string pointers in Name Service packets. They cannot be used in Session or Datagram Service packets. NetBIOS Working Group [Page 6] RFC 1002 March 1987 The other two possible values for bits 7 and 6 (01 and 10) of a label length field are reserved for future use by RFC 883[2 (page 32)]. Note that the first octet of a compressed name must contain one of the following bit patterns. (An "x" indicates a bit whose value may be either 0 or 1.): 00100000 - Netbios name, length must be 32 (decimal) 11xxxxxx - Label string pointer 10xxxxxx - Reserved 01xxxxxx - Reserved 4.2. NAME SERVICE PACKETS 4.2.1. GENERAL FORMAT OF NAME SERVICE PACKETS The NetBIOS Name Service packets follow the packet structure defined in the Domain Name Service (DNS) RFC 883 [7 (pg 26-31)]. The structures are compatible with the existing DNS packet formats, however, additional types and codes have been added to work with NetBIOS. If Name Service packets are sent over a TCP connection they are preceded by a 16 bit unsigned integer representing the length of the Name Service packet. 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 3 3 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | | + ------ ------- + | HEADER | + ------ ------- + | | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | | / QUESTION ENTRIES / | | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | | / ANSWER RESOURCE RECORDS / | | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | | / AUTHORITY RESOURCE RECORDS / | | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | | / ADDITIONAL RESOURCE RECORDS / | | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ NetBIOS Working Group [Page 7] RFC 1002 March 1987 4.2.1.1.

NetBIOS Working Group [Page 29] RFC 1002 March 1987 The LENGTH field is the number of bytes following the LENGTH field. In other words, LENGTH is the combined size of the TRAILER field(s). For example, the POSITIVE SESSION RESPONSE packet always has a LENGTH field value of zero (0000) while the RETARGET SESSION RESPONSE always has a LENGTH field value of six (0006). One of the bits of the FLAGS field acts as an additional, high- order bit for the LENGTH field. Thus the cumulative size of the trailer field(s) may range from 0 to 128K bytes.

PROTOCOL DESCRIPTIONS 5.1. NAME SERVICE PROTOCOLS A REQUEST packet is always sent to the well known UDP port - NAME_SERVICE_UDP_PORT. The destination address is normally either the IP broadcast address or the address of the NBNS - the address of the NBNS server it set up at initialization time. In rare cases, a request packet will be sent to an end node, e.g. a NAME QUERY REQUEST sent to "challenge" a node. A RESPONSE packet is always sent to the source UDP port and source IP address of the request packet. A DEMAND packet must always be sent to the well known UDP port - NAME_SERVICE_UDP_PORT. There is no restriction on the target IP address. Terms used in this section: tid - Transaction ID. This is a value composed from the requestor's IP address and a unique 16 bit value generated by the originator of the transaction. 5.1.1. B-NODE ACTIVITY 5.1.1.1.

SESSION SERVICE PROTOCOLS The following are variables and should be configurable by the NetBIOS user. The default values of these variables is found in "Defined Constants and Variables" in the Detailed Specification.): - SSN_RETRY_COUNT - The maximum number TCP connection attempts allowable per a single NetBIOS call request. - SSN_CLOSE_TIMEOUT is the time period to wait when closing the NetBIOS session before killing the TCP connection if session sends are outstanding. The following are Defined Constants for the NetBIOS Session Service. (See "Defined Constants and Variables" in the Detailed Specification for the value of these constants): - SSN_SRVC_TCP_PORT - is the globally well-known TCP port allocated for the NetBIOS Session Service. The service accepts TCP connections on this port to establish NetBIOS Sessions. The TCP connection established to this port by the caller is initially used for the exchange of NetBIOS control information. The actual NetBIOS data connection may also pass through this port or, through the retargetting facility, through another port. 5.2.1. SESSION ESTABLISHMENT PROTOCOLS 5.2.1.1.

NetBIOS DATAGRAM SERVICE PROTOCOLS The following are GLOBAL variables and should be NetBIOS user configurable: - SCOPE_ID: the non-leaf section of the domain name preceded by a '.' which represents the domain of the NetBIOS scope for the NetBIOS name. The following protocol description only supports single scope operation. - MAX_DATAGRAM_LENGTH: the maximum length of an IP datagram. The minimal maximum length defined in for IP is 576 bytes. This value is used when determining whether to fragment a NetBIOS datagram. Implementations are expected to be capable of receiving unfragmented NetBIOS datagrams up to their maximum size. - BROADCAST_ADDRESS: the IP address B-nodes use to send datagrams with group name destinations and broadcast datagrams. The default is the IP broadcast address for a single IP network. The following are Defined Constants for the NetBIOS Datagram Service: - DGM_SRVC_UDP_PORT: the globally well-known UDP port allocated where the NetBIOS Datagram Service receives UDP packets. See section 6, "Defined Constants", for its value. 5.3.1.
