Some AppleTalk networks do not support, and cannot use, extended network addressing. These networks include LocalTalk, ARCnet, and EtherTalk 1.0.
On nonextended networks, you can assign each network exactly one unique 16-bit network number (an integer between 1 and 65,279) and exactly one zone name. Each AppleTalk node is identified by an 8-bit node number. This limits the total number of nodes per network to 254 (the node numbers 0 and 255 are reserved by AppleTalk).
A node on a nonextended network can communicate with a node on an extended network, if the two networks are connected by a router.
