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...
