When a host on network A sends a message to a host on network B which address does the router look at?

When a host on network A sends a message to a host on network B, the router looks at the destination IP address in the packet’s header to determine where to forward the message. This IP address is used to identify the specific network and host within that network. The router uses its routing table to decide the best path for the packet based on this destination IP address. The MAC address is not used for routing between different networks, as it only applies to the local network segment.


Why does wireshark shows the actual MAC address for the local host but not for the remote host?

Wireshark displays the actual MAC address of the local host because it is directly connected to the network and can access its own hardware address. In contrast, for remote hosts, Wireshark typically shows the MAC address of the last device that forwarded the packet, such as a router, instead of the actual MAC address of the remote host. This is due to the way Ethernet and IP networking function, where MAC addresses are only visible within the same local network segment.


What are host id network id and broadcast id?

In networking, the network ID identifies a specific network segment and is used to route packets to the appropriate network. The host ID identifies a specific device (or host) within that network. The broadcast ID is a special address used to send messages to all devices on a network segment simultaneously, usually represented by the highest address in the subnet. Together, these IDs help in organizing and managing network communications efficiently.

What piece of addressing information should both the Ipv4 host address and its default gateway share?

The subnet mask; it has to be the same for both units. Also, they have to be on the same network segment.


What is a possible reason that host a and host b are unable to communicate outside the local network?

Because they need a device to communicate with a distant network through. These devices are called gateways, and are normally routers. The hosts on a segment need to have knowledge of the gateway device in order to communicate outside the segment. In most environments, the local network will have an internal addressing scheme, one that is not routable on the internet, so there needs to be a device that can translate the internal addresses (non routable on the internet) into external addresses (routable on the internet). Of course this device needs to be connected to both the internal network and the external network to be able to send traffic between them.


Can 255.255.255.255 have hosts?

No, 255.255.255.255 is a special address known as the limited broadcast address in IPv4. It is used to send packets to all hosts on the local network segment and cannot be assigned to any individual host. Therefore, it does not have hosts associated with it.
