MAC address is the Layer 2 based unique address assigned (burned) to Network Interface Card. Out of 48 bits First 24 bits are assigned to Manufacturers (Of NIC Cards) & other 24 bits are assigned to each NIC by Manufacturer. 48 bits in MAC address provides unexhaustive possibility in near time for manufacturing NICs with unique identity number.
A means accumulator , it is used to store 8 bit data not address because address is of 16 bits .
The built-in identifying address coded into a Network Interface Card (NIC) is called a MAC address. It is a unique identifier assigned to the hardware by the manufacturer and is used to identify devices on a network. MAC addresses are typically 48 bits long and are displayed in hexadecimal format.
An IP address comes in two formats: ipV4 and ipV6. In IpV4 32 bits are allocated to the IP address. In IpV6, 128 bits are allocated to the address. This is done by the protocol and is a standard for developing an IP address.
The size of an IPv4 address is 32 bits, or 4 bytes.
This is MAC Address comprising of 48 bits (six blocks of double digit hexadecimal numbers)
In IP version 4, an IP address has 32 bits, or 4 bytes.In IP version 4, an IP address has 32 bits, or 4 bytes.In IP version 4, an IP address has 32 bits, or 4 bytes.In IP version 4, an IP address has 32 bits, or 4 bytes.
128-bit IP addresses
A MAC address consists of 48 bits, usually represented as a string of 12 hexadecimal digits
Assuming IP version 4 (the current standard), a complete IP address has 32 bits. /16 means that the first 16 bits specify the network; the remaining bits (also 16 in this case - calculated as 32 minus 16) specify the host.Assuming IP version 4 (the current standard), a complete IP address has 32 bits. /16 means that the first 16 bits specify the network; the remaining bits (also 16 in this case - calculated as 32 minus 16) specify the host.Assuming IP version 4 (the current standard), a complete IP address has 32 bits. /16 means that the first 16 bits specify the network; the remaining bits (also 16 in this case - calculated as 32 minus 16) specify the host.Assuming IP version 4 (the current standard), a complete IP address has 32 bits. /16 means that the first 16 bits specify the network; the remaining bits (also 16 in this case - calculated as 32 minus 16) specify the host.
You need 20 bits of address bus to address 1 Mb of memory.
48 bits is a typical MAC address in bits.
