Yes, port addresses need to be unique within a specific host to ensure proper communication between applications and services. Each port address identifies a specific process or service, allowing multiple applications to run simultaneously without interference. If port addresses were not unique, data packets could be misrouted, leading to confusion and collisions in network communication.
A port number is linked to an IP address to create a unique identification number for each process being run by a client. Port numbers do not have to be unique, but IP addresses do.
Port and memory addresses are expressed as Hexadecimal Numbers
I need help on this too!
Not possible, both are numbers.
Addresses 80 - 87H are assigned to the P0 port
yes each and every device in a network will have unique mac address.
The layer of port addresses refers to the Transport Layer in the OSI model. This layer is responsible for providing end-to-end communication and managing data flow between devices. Port addresses, or port numbers, are used to identify specific applications or services on a device, allowing multiple applications to communicate over the same network connection. Common protocols that utilize port addresses include TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) and UDP (User Datagram Protocol).
MAC address are hard coded on network cards and network devices. A HUB acts as a splitter, so yes. >both Mac addresses are provisioned; Implies your ISP will assign unique IP addresses. The hub then acts as only an electrical connection box. Without Unique IP addresses, you need a router instead of a hub or switch
unique addresses that are public domain addresses
To assign a unique IP address to every person in the United States, we would need approximately 331 million unique IP addresses, based on the estimated population. However, since IP addresses can be assigned to devices rather than individuals, the total number of required addresses might be higher, considering the increasing number of internet-connected devices per person. IPv4, which allows for about 4.3 billion addresses, would suffice for this purpose, but transitioning to IPv6, which provides a virtually limitless number of addresses, is essential for future scalability.
It is usually bound to a port and address on the local machine and waits for incoming requests. It listens to all addresses on the machine by default although it may need to be told what ports and addresses it specifically needs to listen to.
An IP address must be unique within a LAN; the combination of the network and host portion must present a number that is not duplicated anywhere else in the network. Outside of a LAN the IP addresses do not have to be unique, except that the network id portion can only be used by the organization that owns the IP network address. The host portion does not need to be unique across all LANs within an enterprise network.
