From http://www.protocols.com/ 

The Network Basic I/O System (NetBIOS), TCP/UDP version, was developed for the IBM PC LAN program to support communications between symbolically named stations and transfer of arbitrary data.

The Server Message Block (SMB) is a Microsoft presentation layer protocol providing file and print sharing functions for LAN Manager, VINES and other network operating systems. IBM NetBIOS manages the use of node names and transport layer connections for higher layer protocols such as SMB. The IBM suite includes the following protocols:

bulletNetBIOS - Network Basic I/O System.
bulletSMB - Server Message Block.
bulletSNA - refer to Chapter 22.

The following diagram illustrates the IBM protocol suite in relation to the OSI model:
