>From RFC 1795:
Data Link Switching uses LAN addressing to set up connections between
   SNA systems. SDLC attached devices are defined with MAC and SAP
   addresses to enable them to communicate with LAN attached devices.
   For NetBIOS systems, Data Link Switching uses the NetBIOS name to
   forward datagrams and to set up connections for NetBIOS sessions.
   For LLC type 2 connection establishment, SNA systems send TEST (or in
   some cases, XID) frames to the null (0x00) SAP. NetBIOS systems have
   an address resolution procedure, based upon the Name Query and Name
   Recognized frames, that is used to establish an end-to-end circuit.

HTH, Fred
