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 applicationprograms, 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.
