Sequenced Packet Exchange
<networking, protocol> (SPX) A transport layer protocol
built on top of IPX. SPX is used in Novell NetWare
systems for communications in client/server {application
programs}, e.g. BTRIEVE (ISAM manager).
SPX is not used for connections to the file server itself;
this uses NCP. It has been extended as SPX-II. SPX/IPX
perform equivalent functions to TCP/IP.

Sequenced Packet Exchange
Sequenced Packet Exchange (SPX) is a protocol in the IPX/SPX protocol stack that corresponds to a connection-oriented transport layer protocol in the OSI model. Being reliable and connection-oriented, it is analogous to the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) of TCP/IP, but it is a datagram protocol, rather than a stream protocol.
