A MAC (Media Access Control) address is a unique identifier assigned to a network interface controller (NIC) for communication on the physical network segment. It is assigned by the manufacturer of the NIC and is stored in its hardware, such as the card’s read-only memory or some other firmware mechanism. It is also known as a physical or hardware address.
