AppleTalk
AppleTalk was developed by Apple.
AppleTalk is Apple Computers' proprietary protocol stack designed to enable Apple Macintosh computers to share files and printers in a networked environment.
It is a routable protocol and is an integral part of the Mac operating system.
Appleshare is a suite of protocols or applications that provide AppleTalk's Application layer services.
The following protocols make up Appleshare:
Appleshare File Server
Macintosh's network operating system uses Appleshare File Server to provide access to remote files.
Appleshare File Server registers users and allows those users to log in and access resources.
Appleshare Print Server
The Appleshare Print Server provides printer sharing on the network.
AppleShare PC
The AppleShare PC allows DOS workstations to access Appleshare file services.
AppleShare also provides active service advertisement and collaborative service use.

Data Link Control(DLC)
DLC is a protocol designed to support access to networked printers or print servers.
It is also designed to connect to IBM mainframe computers via emulation software.
DLC however does not provide any support for any higher-level protocols and does not support routing.
This is a service provided by the Data Link layer of function defined in the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model for network communication.
The Data Link layer of the OSI model provides reliable data transfer across one physical link (or telecommunications path) within the network.
