RFCs 1001/1002 define a mapping from NETBIOS INT 5C calls to TCP and UDP
transport-level operations.  A NETBIOS "call" translates into a TCP active
open from a random local port to port 139 on the destination machine.  A
somewhat baroque incompatible relative of the Domain Name System is used
to associate 16-byte NETBIOS names with IP addresses.  Datagrams and status
calls use UDP.

As such, this doesn't look anything like NFS, which uses RPC calls over
either UDP or TCP, and doesn't have a concept of "session".
