The NetBIOS Name Service protocol associates host names with IP addresses, similarly to DNS, but on the same IP subnet. Practically, this allows the assignment of human-name hostnames to access boards on the same subnet. For example. in the "TCPIP Demo App" demonstration project, the demo board is programmed with the human name 'mchpboard' so it can be accessed directly instead of with its IP address.
