The ip address is used when another computer needs to connect to your computer or if you are hosting a site on your server. The ip address of your site will be the ip address of your computer.
The IP address is used when communicating with another LAN (Local Area Network) across a WAN (Wide Area Network).
yes ......... mac address travels in network instead of ip.
Computers with a specified MAC address can only send and receive information with the IP address it is bound to. To use MAC address binding, you must associate an IP address on the specified interface with a MAC address.
ARP stands for Address Resolution Protocol. This is IP's way of requesting a MAC address (or hardware address) from a host located at a certain IP address. In order for a host on a network to send a unicast packet across the network, it must know both the source and destination MAC addresses. ARP is used to obtain a MAC address similar to the way DNS is used to obtain an IP address from a domain name (www.anydomain.com).
An IP address has a consistent and predictable route for traffic coming from the internet. A MAC address is not routable.
All network devices must have a MAC address. Find yours by selecting Settings - General and looking at the Wi-Fi address.

The source MAC address within a frame is used by the switch to associate a port with that MAC address. Frames are directed by the switch from one port to another based on the destination MAC address within the frame.
A MAC address is unique to your ethernet card. MAC addresses are used within an Ethernet network to uniquely identify the source and destination of Ethernet frames. ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) is used on IP networks to map IP addresses to MAC addresses within an Ethernet network.
