What does NBNS mean in Wireshark?
NetBIOS Name Service
NetBIOS Name Service (NBNS) This service is often called WINS on Windows systems. The NetBIOS Name Service is part of the NetBIOS-over-TCP protocol suite, see the NetBIOS page for further information.
What is ISATAP routing?
ISATAP (Intra Site Automatic Tunnel Addressing Protocol) is an IPv6 tunneling technique that allows you to connect IPv6 over an IPv4 network, similar to the automatic 6to4 tunnel. On your IPv4 network, you can configure one of your routers as an IPv6 “headend” ISATAP router that your IPv6 hosts can connect to.
What is ISATAP interface?
ISATAP (Intra-Site Automatic Tunnel Addressing Protocol) is an IPv6 transition mechanism meant to transmit IPv6 packets between dual-stack nodes on top of an IPv4 network.
When was ISATAP introduced?
Intra-Site Automatic Tunnel Addressing Protocol (ISATAP) RFC 4214

What layer is NBNS?
OSI Session Layer 5 Protocol
NetBIOS is a non-routable OSI Session Layer 5 Protocol and a service that allows applications on computers to communicate with one another over a local area network (LAN).
What is the ISATAP tunneling mechanism?
ISATAP is an automatic overlay tunneling mechanism that uses the underlying IPv4 network as a NBMA link layer for IPv6. ISATAP is designed for transporting IPv6 packets within a site where a native IPv6 infrastructure is not yet available; for example, when sparse IPv6 hosts are deployed for testing.
What is ISATAP host?
ISATAP stands for Intra Site Automatic Tunneling Address Protocol and is defined in RFC 5214. ISATAP is an interface that hosts can use to pass IPv6 traffic over IPv4 networks. It does this by taking an IPv6 frame and applying headers to the frame with IPv4 network information.
What is the ISATAP protocol?
ISATAP (Intra-Site Automatic Tunnel Addressing Protocol) is an IPv6 transition mechanism meant to transmit IPv6 packets between dual-stack nodes on top of an IPv4 network.
What is NetBIOS Name Service (NBNS)?
The NetBIOS Name Service is part of the NetBIOS-over-TCP protocol suite, see the NetBIOS page for further information. NBNS serves much the same purpose as DNS does: translate human-readable names to IP addresses (e.g. www.wireshark.org to 65.208.228.223).
Which operating systems support ISATAP?
ISATAP is implemented in Microsoft Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2019, Windows Mobile, Linux, and in Cisco IOS (since IOS 12.2 (14)S and IOS XE Release 2.1).
What is the difference between 6over4 and ISATAP?
Unlike 6over4 (an older similar protocol using IPv4 multicast), ISATAP uses IPv4 as a virtual nonbroadcast multiple-access network (NBMA) data link layer, so that it does not require the underlying IPv4 network infrastructure to support multicast.
