NetBEUI is the only listed protocol that is not routable; the rest are.
NetBEUI
Protocol independence means that an application or service is able to utilize more than one communications protocol. The most common protocol would be TCP/IP which actually encompasses different types of IP protocols such as IP or UDP. The TCP component is responsible for connection management and the IP component is the actual communications protocol. It is possible to use IP without the TCP component. This is also referred to as a connectionless protocol like UDP. These different types of IP communications could be considered different protocols. This could be an example protocol independence if either can be used for a specific application. There are less common protocols like Novell's IPX/SPX which do not interoperate with TCP/IP in any way. However, there are applications that can use either protocol making them completely protocol independent. Both TCP/IP and IPX followed the OSI model, and it is possible to load both protocols on the same network interface on a host, and even on a CISCO router as a sub-interface. Remember that the lower levels of the OSI model such as physical, data, network and transport are open and can be replaced with different media and or data frame size etc. Try to find a detailed OSI model and you will see more than one protocol within the transport layer. This would also help in understanding protocol independence. It is also possible to encapsulate or hide one protocol inside of another to allow say NetBIOS or IPX to be carried over an IP network within a pure IP packet. This requires that all the IP packet header and footer be stripped away and the inside or encapsulated protocol to be handed off to a higher OSI layer such as the Session layer.

tcp
TCP and UDP are transport layer protocols; the OSI layer is layer 4 (transport)
No TCP a reliable protocol whereas UDP is unreliable.
The letters TCP in golf stand for tournament players club. TCP is a network of golf courses operated by the PGA tour.
IPX/SPX : Routable // TCP/IP : Routable // NetBEUI : Not Routable
1) TCP/IP, 2) IPX/SPX, 3) NetBEUI, & 4) AppleTalk...
TCP IP handles data transfer by default, and IPX SPX takes over if TCP IP is unavailable
NetWare includes support for TCP/IP NetWare's previous protocol was IPX/SPX
The OSI model encompasses all of the TCP/IP sub-protocols plus several other protocols that are not part of TCP/IP. These would include IPX/SPX, NetBEUI, Appletalk, and other proprietary protocols that are not part of the TCP/IP model.
ipx spx addresses are usually assigned by the server and in most cases work in conjunction with TCP/IP. This is an outdated protocol and don't need it unless your connecting to some very old Netware servers
TCP IP is 2 distinct protocols... TCP is a trasnporter and IP is the DATA TCP mean Transport Control Protocol and IP mean Internet Protocol If you compare with IPX SPX in NOVEL IPX is the DATA, and SPX is the transport protocol... Jean-François Cyr as Cyr de Jackdrill...
No, TCP/IP is the not the only protocol used in the world, but it is certainly one of the most popular. Older networks may still use IPX/SPX (Novell) which is a competitor to TCP/IP. Mainframes use SNA or LU6.2 protocols which are very different from TCP/IP. Appletalk is also a competitor to TCP/IP.
TCP/IP is the protocol used for the Internet. It will not be replaced anytime soon, it replaced a protocol called IPX/SPX which was used by Novell. But TCP/IP is here to stay.
A routable protocol contains a network address as well as a device address. Non-routable protocol, on the other hand, regulate the transfer of data and always makes use of interior routing system to transmit data.

If you use several different protocols (such as TCP/IP and IPX/SPX or Appletalk) then the frame types will be different. Networks can (and do) utilize several different protocols depending on what they need to talk to as clients.
