Sequenced Packet Exchange




<networking, protocol> (SPX) A transport layer protocol built on top of IPX.

SPX is used in Novell NetWare systems for communications in client/server application programs, e.g. BTRIEVE (ISAM manager).

SPX is not used for connections to the file server itself; this uses NCP.

It has been extended as SPX-II.

SPX/IPX perform equivalent functions to TCP/IP.
