Study Notes

Purpose of Addressing in a Network

Addressing assigns unique identifiers to entities like devices, resources, or locations for effective communication.
Facilitates identification and interaction within a network or system.
Important for locating and communicating precisely, similar to sending a letter to a specific address.

Scenario of John and Kate

John and Kate, explorers in a jungle, represent the need for effective communication to reunite after getting lost.
Unique phone numbers serve as identifiers that allow John to call Kate, demonstrating practical use of addressing.

Types of Addressing

MAC Addressing: Hardware addresses used to identify devices on a local network.
IP Addressing: Provides a unique identifier for each device on a network, essential for routing data.
Physical Addressing: The actual physical location of devices.
Port Addressing: Identifies specific processes or services on devices using port numbers.

Main Purpose of IP Addressing

IP addressing enables devices to communicate over a network by providing unique addresses.
It allows data to be routed effectively between devices regardless of their physical location.

Definition of Addressing in Network Communication

Addressing is the process of assigning unique identifiers or labels to entities to facilitate communication.
It ensures smooth interaction and identification of devices, resources, or locations within a network.
