What is IPX?

Given the ambiguity of the term 'IPX', it is difficult to provide a specific and accurate description. 'IPX' could refer to several technologies, including: 1. **Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX):** An obsolete networking protocol used primarily by Novell NetWare. It was similar to IP but less robust and has been largely replaced by TCP/IP. IPX was used for routing data packets between servers and clients in NetWare environments. 2. **Ingress Protection (IP) followed by an X:** This is a rating system for the degree of protection provided by enclosures of electrical equipment. If an 'X' is used, it usually indicates that not enough testing was done to assign a rating for that particular characteristic, e.g. dust or water resistance. Without further context, it's impossible to determine which meaning is intended.
