Take a look at RFCs 1001 and 1002 at eg
http://SunSITE.auc.dk/RFC/ . This is (part of) the specification
of NetBIOS encapsulated in IP. Is this the protocol you helped
design?
It doesn't mention NetBEUI anywhere, which is unsurprising
since NetBEUI is an alternative (older) encapsulation for
NetBIOS and as such has nothing to do with IP.
