I'm not a vandal or spammer I just haven't created a username and password yet but the answer to the question is that your physical address is burned into the net work card adapter on your PC or on Apple Macs by the manufacturer at the time of production and they are all unique. That physical address, just like your mailing address it is real, is also called your MAC address (Media Access Control address) and looks like this 00-56-7E-4A-DD-8D. The logical address is what the IP (internet Protocol) address, can also be called virtual address, is and it looks like this 216.109.112.135 and is Yahoo's IP address. Your IP address can change and often does when you have a high speed Internet connection. This is called your DHCP Lease and it actually has an expiration date and time. When it expires you may get the same one or another one depending on what available IP addresses the DHCP server has available. You can also do this with the release and renew commands. You can look up the addresses on your computer with the ipconfig -all command in Windows command line utility (cmd on 2000/XP). To do this go to Start - RUN - type 'cmd'. Then your console window should open up. In there you can type 'ipconfig -all' and you will get the information about your physical address and IP address. To lookup Yahoo's or Google's address type ' nslookup yahoo.com or nslookup google.com and you should get the corresponding IP address of the web site. nslookup (name server lookup) is a network command line utility that will display the IP address of a site. I hope this helps as there is a great deal more information that I could write about these two address types.

In the case of IP / Ethernet, that would be the ARP protocol. The need for this is that that is the way Ethernet works - every Ethernet frame has to have the destination address, so the switches can send it to the correct destination - and the receiving computer can verify that it is the inteded recipient.

Physical and logical addresses are same when using compile time and load time address binding but they differ when using execution time address binding.


How logical address is mapped to physical address?

Storage Area Network What is the difference between a LUN and a volume?

LUN = Logical Unit NumberVolume = a physical diskDepending on how the storage is configured a LUN may correspond to: a single physical volume as a single logical unitseveral physical volumes being treated as a single logical unitone partition within a physical volume formatted as several partitions (with each partition as a single logical unit)The concept of a LUN makes it easy for programs to access the disks and makes it easy to perform maintenance on the disks by shuffling the LUNs between physical disks as needed. The programs do not need to be changed or reconfigured when a physical drive is removed, replaced, or upgraded to one of greater capacity (or converted to RAID storage).
