      What Statement Describes A Characteristic Of Mac Addresses?

      Today, let us learn about the definition of the mac address and its characteristics in detail. Simply, in order to transfer the data from one computer to another computer which are not connected to each other, this is called the media access control or called the mac address helps to transfer the data from one device to another device.

      The mac address is nothing but a unique identifier that is assigned to the network interface to maintain the communication on the physical network segments. The mac address can be used for numerous technologies like ethernet. In ethernet, the logical mac address is mainly used in the media access control protocol which is the sub-layer of the OSI model.

      We have an IP address and the mac address that is typically tied to a key connection device on the computer which is called the network interface card. The network interface card is essentially a computer circuit that makes it possible for the computer to connect to the network.

      The network interface card will be able to convert the electrical signals which can be transmitted over the network mac address. The formation of the network mac address is according to the rules of the namespaces, this is managed by the IEEE.

      Every network interface card consists of a hardware address called the mac address for a media access control in which all the IP addresses are associated with the TCP and the mac addresses. These TCP and the mac addresses are linked with the network adapters.

      Here the mac address is given to the network adapter that is hardcoded into the network interface card. The mac address is a unique one to the network address resolution protocol. This will translates an IP address into the form of a mac address.

      We can consider address resolution protocol as a passport that can able to take the data from an IP address into the actual peace of the computer hardware. We have different types of mac addresses. They are a Universally administered address, locally administrated address.

      Now let us discuss each of these addresses in detail. The first one is a universally administrated address, it is a uniquely assigned device by the manufacturer, the first three octets will be in the transmission order, which can able to identify the organization that is issued the identifier. These are uniquely known as organizationally unique identifiers.

      The mac address and the IP addresses are the globally unique ID, the mac address is mainly used for the local communications on a simple small network. The mac address is mainly used in the network interface cards, the loss of this hardware leads to the loss of all the existing connections in them. The main difference between the mac address and the IP address is that the mac address is mainly used to tell who you are and the IP address is mainly used to tell where you are. The mac address can also be called the physical address.
