I guess you mean MAC and IP. Protocol could be any of these, and others more.

A MAC address is used to communicate within a certain network, for example, Ethernet.

An IP address is used to communicate between different kinds networks, or the same kind of network, but in any case, covering several hops.

Layer-3 protocols, such as IP, were developed precisely to provide compatibility between otherwise incompatible networks.

What is an ARP request?

ARP is a protocol that maps MAC addresses to IP addresses for packet delivery and for finding out which device in a LAN has a given IP address.


What is a private MAC address?

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.


Mac IPaddress long form?

MAC addresses and IP addresses are two different representations of how to send data to a device by network protocol. A MAC address is the unique identity of a device, used in a network to distinguish one device from another. An IP address is a unique address that shows how traffic should be routed to reach the device.

What is the primary purpose of ARP?

The primary purpose of the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is to map an IP address to a MAC address in a local network. This allows devices on a network to communicate with each other using their unique MAC addresses. ARP is crucial for proper functioning of Ethernet-based networks.

What protocol used when two host has same ip address?

When two hosts have the same IP address on a network, it can lead to an IP address conflict, causing connectivity issues for both devices. The Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is often involved in detecting these conflicts, as it maps IP addresses to MAC addresses. Network administrators typically resolve the conflict by reconfiguring one of the devices to use a unique IP address. Additionally, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) can help prevent such conflicts by dynamically assigning unique IP addresses to devices on a network.


Why are no two MAC addresses the same?

the network could not work if they were the same.
