NetBEUI is the only listed protocol that is not routable; the rest are.
Worth noting is the popular confusion between the names NetBIOS and NetBEUI. NetBEUI originated strictly as the moniker for IBM's enhanced 1985 NetBIOS emulator for token ring. The name NetBEUI should have died there, considering that at the time, the NetBIOS implementations by other companies were known simply as NetBIOS regardless of whether they incorporated the API extensions found in that emulator. For MS-NET, however, Microsoft elected to name its implementation of the NBF protocol "NetBEUI" - literally naming its implementation of the transport protocol after IBM's second version of the API. Consequently, even today, Microsoft file and printer sharing over Ethernet continues to be called NetBEUI, with the name NetBIOS commonly used only in reference to file and printer sharing overTCP/IP. In truth, the former is NetBIOS over NBF, and the latter is NetBIOS over NBT.
