What is the difference between virtual logical and physical address spaces?

The concept of a logical address space is simply involved the process of mapping the Logical addresses to their Physical Addresses . Logical addresses are generated by the CPU; also referred to as virtual addresses.while Physical Address is the actual address of the data stored on the physical device and mapped by MMU.

What elements might the data link layer add to its pdu a physical addresses b logical addresses c data d crc?

The data link layer typically adds physical addresses (also known as MAC addresses) to its Protocol Data Unit (PDU) to ensure that data is delivered to the correct device on a local network. Additionally, it often includes a CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) for error detection, ensuring the integrity of the transmitted data. Logical addresses and the original data payload are not added at this layer; logical addressing is handled at the network layer above it.


How can one calculate the physical address from a given logical address?

To calculate the physical address from a logical address, you can use the base address and offset. Add the base address to the offset to get the physical address. This process is commonly used in computer systems to translate logical addresses to physical addresses for memory access.

Is a MAC address logical?

A MAC address is not considered logical; it is a physical address. It is a unique identifier assigned to network interfaces for communications on a local network segment and is hardcoded into the network hardware. Unlike logical addresses, such as IP addresses, which can change based on the network configuration, MAC addresses remain constant for a device's network interface.
