| 11.4.3 | Routable and non-routable protocols

Protocols such as IP, IPX/SPX and AppleTalk provide Layer 3 support and are, therefore, routable. However, there are protocols that do not support Layer 3; these are classed as non-routable protocols. The most common of these non-routable protocols is NetBEUI. NetBEUI is a small, fast, and efficient protocol that is limited to running on one segment.
