Mission 019


Engineer Briefing

Networking uses two addressing systems:

IP Address

Answers:

"Which device and network are we trying to reach?"

MAC Address

Answers:

"Which physical device should receive this frame?"

They work together.

IP gets the packet to the correct network.

MAC gets the frame to the correct device on the local network.
