# 1.2.1.15 NBNS Module

The NetBIOS Name Service protocol associates host names with IP addresses, similarly to DNS, but on the same IP subnet. Practically, this allows the assignment of human-name host names to access boards on the same subnet. For example. in the TCP/IP Demonstration applications projects, the development boards are programmed with the human name like 'mchpboard_c' so it can be accessed directly instead of with its IP address.
