Definition: AppleTalk

Apple's local area network architecture. Introduced in 1985, it supported Apple's proprietary LocalTalk access method as well as Ethernet and Token Ring. The AppleTalk network manager and the LocalTalk access method were built into all Macintoshes and LaserWriters. Support for AppleTalk was made available for PCs, VAXs and Unix workstations with products from Apple and third parties. A routable protocol patterned after the OSI model, Appletalk was superseded by TCP/IP. See AFP and TCP/IP.
