SPX Page
The SPX page shows recent SPX activity to and from the current system.
SPX (Sequenced Packet Exchange) is a communication protocol used in Novell Netware networks. It is similar to TCP, and provides connection services between nodes on a network. The combination of SPX with IPX (Internetwork Packet Exchange) provides connection services similar to TCP/IP.
