Hi.  I have a question about RFCs 1001/1002 (or maybe its
really a NETBIOS question, I'm not sure...)

If a node on the network initiates a call to a NETBIOS
name which happens to be a group name being used by
several other nodes on the network, how is the call to
the group name resolved into a single session with a
specific member of the group?  Is it based on the first
name query response received?  Is this an error
condition?

The text of RFC 1001 says, "The NETBIOS specification
does not define how a connection request to a group name
resolves into a session.  The usual *assumption* is that
a session may be established with any one owner of the
called group name."

Note that my question is specific to B-node processing
only (no central name server).

Any insight will be greatly appreciated!

Jason.
