Through logical address the system identify a network (source to destination). after identifying the network physical address is used to identify the host on that network. The port address is used to identify the particular application running on the destination machine.

Logical Address: An IP address of the system is called logical address. This address is the combnation of Net ID and Host ID. This address is used by network layer to identify a particular network (source to destination) among the networks. This address can be changed by changing the host position on the network. So it is called logical address.

Physical address: Each system having a NIC(Network Interface Card) through which two systems physically connected with each other with cables. The address of the NIC is called Physical address or mac address. This is specified by the manficture company of the card. This address is used by data link layer.


Port Address: There are many application running on the computer. Each application run with a port no.(logically) on the computer. This port no. for application is decided by the Karnal of the OS. This port no. is called port address.

logical address and physical address

A Physical address is a 48-bit flat address burned into the ROM of the NIC card which is a Layer1 device of the OSI model. This iis divided into 24-bit vendor code and 24-bit serial address. This is unique for each system and cannot be changed. In computing, a physical address, also real address, or binary address, is the memory address that is represented in the form of a binary number on the address bus circuitry in order to enable the data bus to access a particular storage cell of main memory.

In a computer with virtual memory, the term physical address is used mostly to differentiate from a virtual address. In particular, in computers utilizing memory management unit (MMU) to translate memory addresses, the virtual and physical addresses refer to an address before and after MMU translation respectively.

In computer networking, physical address is sometimes a synonym of MAC address. The address is actually used on the network's data link layer, not on the physical layer, as the name would suggest.

A Logical address is a 32- bit address assigned to each system in a network. This works in Layer-3 of OSI Model. This would be generally the IP address.

In computing, a logical address is the address at which an item (memory cell, storage element, network host) appears to reside from the perspective of an executing application program.

A logical address may be different from the physical address due to the operation of an address translator or mapping function. Such mapping functions may be, in the case of a computer memory architecture, a memory management unit (MMU) between the CPU and the memory bus, or an address translation layer, e.g., the Data Link Layer, between the hardware and the internetworking protocols (internet Protocol) in a computer networking system.

  • Physical address is the actual address of a device set in its hardware, so it can be recognized as unique.
  • Logical address is the address assigned by the operating system to a device. The operating system maintains a logical to physical address map table.

In logical address in we hav different clesses ie., class A, class B, class C, now a days we are using class C address. Example : (192.168.1.1) this is class C IP address. logical addresses are called as IP Address ( Internet Protocol ). Physical address are the MAC Address ie., the unique address specified by the manufacturer of ur LAN card.

* Address used in programs

* This term can be applied no matter whether the program is running in real or protected mode.

*simply means the numbers that specify where a program is pointing in the PC's main memory.

The physical address space is the 1mb address space addressed by address pins a0-a19. The logical address space is the 64kb address space address by the effective address space a0-15.

Logical address is also known as IP address . Physical address is also known as MAC address. Logiacal IP address is static while Physical address is dynamic and changes outside a network.

Which address is more important the physical address or the logical address?

In the 8086/8088 the physical address and logical address have the same importance, because they both relate to the address of the operand. It is true that the offset (logical) address is added to the segment address to determine the physical address, but the limitations of the architecture of the processor forces programmers to consider both.If you are talking about a virtual environment, however, such as in the 80286 or higher, then the logical address is more important than the physical address, because the logical address is the address of the operand, while the physical address is (somewhat) arbitrarily assigned by the operating system.


Each Logical Address is dependent of what?

A Physical Address...


Can physical address and virtual address be same?

your question is wrong. it should be "can physical address and logical address be same" answer is no because logical address is the combination of page number and offset whereas physical address is the combination of physical page[frame] and offset


What is the difference between virtual logical and physical address spaces?

The concept of a logical address space is simply involved the process of mapping the Logical addresses to their Physical Addresses . Logical addresses are generated by the CPU; also referred to as virtual addresses.while Physical Address is the actual address of the data stored on the physical device and mapped by MMU.


Why you need memory physical address and memory logical address?

Physical Address refers to Storage location on Physical Memory wheres Logical Addressing is used by Memory Managing Programs to refers addresses from Physical Memory and Virtual Memory.


Physical address and logical address?

A logical (or virtual) address is a reference to a memory location independent of the current assignment of data to memory; a translation must be made to a physical address before the memory access can be achieved. A relative address is the address expressed as a location relative to some known point, usually the beginning of the program. A physical address, or absolute address, is an actual location in main memory.


What is logical address space and physical address space?

Logical address is the address generated by the CPU (from the perspective of a program that is running) whereas physical address (or the real address) is the address seen by the memory unit and it allows the data bus to access a particular memory cell in the main memory. All the logical addresses need to be mapped in to physical addresses before they can be used by the MMU. Physical and logical addresses are same when using compile time and load time address binding but they differ when using execution time address binding.


What kind of memory address does a CPU generate?

- An MMU (memory management unit) generates physical address. - A CPU (central processing unit) generates a logical address.


Which data structure convert logical to physical address?

Linear data structure is used to convert the logical address to physical address .Stack is used in this and the various conversion such as postfix,prefix and infix notation are come in this


Formula to get logical to physical address in paging?

(frame no * page size) + offset value = physical add where frame value is the value present in the corresponding page number offset value is the last n bits of the logical address page no is the first m-n bits of logical address 2^m is the logical address 2^n is the page size


What Difference between logical versus physical address storage?

A physical address is concrete and never changes. It is set in memory. A logical address is made up of a base pointer and an offset.It keeps programs running parallel and not intertwining.


In paged system Can the logical address space b larger than physical address space?

Yes. This is the fundamental premise of paged or virtual memory - that you can have more logical memory than physical memory.
