What address is used by a local host when you need to forward packets to the host on a different subnet?

When forwarding packets to a host on a different subnet, the local host uses the address of the default gateway, which is typically a router within the same subnet. The default gateway serves as an intermediary that routes traffic from the local subnet to other subnets. This address is configured in the network settings of the local host. Packets destined for outside the local subnet are sent to this default gateway for further routing.

Why does wireshark shows the actual MAC address for the local host but not for the remote host?

Wireshark displays the actual MAC address of the local host because it is directly connected to the network and can access its own hardware address. In contrast, for remote hosts, Wireshark typically shows the MAC address of the last device that forwarded the packet, such as a router, instead of the actual MAC address of the remote host. This is due to the way Ethernet and IP networking function, where MAC addresses are only visible within the same local network segment.

Explain the difference between a local name server and an authoritative name server?

A host's authoritative name server provides the "official" translation of a hostname to an IP address (among other things). A host's local name server is a proxy to the DNS system: the host first queries its local name server for a mapping; the local name server then obtains the mapping on the behalf of the querying host.
