IP addresses are used to deliver packets of data across a network and have what is termed end-to-end significance. This means that the source and destination IP address remains constant as the packet traverses a network.In simple terms again, Destination IP address is the receiver of information

What is significant about the contents of the destination address field?
The destination address field in a frame refers to the physical (or MAC) address of the destination node.
Are the addresses in a layer 2 switch's MAC address table the final destination address or the next hop address?
Final Destination Address
What part of a packet is used to get to destination?
Destination address
What is in the layer 3 header?
destination host logical address
Which protocol enables a host to determine a destination mac address for a given destination ip address?
DHCP
Which portion of the packet does a router use to forward the packet to the destination?
The Destination Address (Layer 2 or Layer 3)
Which situation Address Resolution Protocol used?
ARP used for resolving mac address from ip address, say one client want to communicate with another and the sender knows only its destination IP address. For communication it requires the physical address of the destination, thus sender uses ARP protocol to resolve the physical address of the destination from ip address by sending arprequest to destination system.
Which operation is used by a router to extract the destination network address from the destination IP address of a packet?
Route table lookup
What is subnet address if the destination address is 198.47.34.31 and sunet mask is 255.255.244.0?
To find the subnet address, perform a bitwise AND operation between the destination address (198.47.34.31) and the subnet mask (255.255.244.0). In binary, the destination address is 11000110.00101111.00100010.00011111 and the subnet mask is 11111111.11111111.11110100.00000000. Performing the AND operation results in the subnet address of 198.47.32.0.
What is another name for unicast address?
Host/destination address
What header information does a router change?
the Layer 2 source and destination address
What happens when a node on an Ethernet network is creating a frame and it does not have the destination MAC address?
The node sends out an ARP request with the destination IP address.
