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 first half a MAC address known as?
The first half of a MAC address is known as the Organizationally Unique Identifier (OUI). This portion consists of the first 24 bits and identifies the manufacturer or organization that produced the network interface hardware. The remaining 24 bits of the MAC address are assigned by the manufacturer to uniquely identify the specific device. Together, the OUI and the device-specific portion create a unique identifier for each network interface.

The device that owns that IP address responds with its MAC address. Once the requesting computer receives the MAC address, it can then send data directly to the intended device.
