Expert Solution & Answer
Chapter 6, Problem R9RQ
Explanation of Solution
MAC address:
- It is called as Media Access Control address.
- It is a unique number used to build communication at the link layer. MAC address is assigned to a Network Interface Controller (NIC).
- It is also used as a network address.
- The size of a MAC address space is 48 bits (248 in size).
Therefore, the MAC address space is “48 bits (248 in size)”.
IPv4:
- It is called as Internet Protocol version 4.
- Via the addressing system, IPv4 identify devices on a particular network...
