The tcp/ip model

The TCP/IP suite is the most common used protocol suite in the networking world
It is essentially the protocol suite in which the internet was built
It is the standard for computer networking
It is based on a 4-layer model that is similar to the OSI Model

Tcp/ip model and suite of protocols








Mac addresses

Media Access Control (MAC)
Physical address of the network adapter card
OSI layer 2 (Data Link) layer address
TPC/IP network interface layer address
Six bytes (48 bits), usually represented hexadecimal
First three bytes (24 bits) are assigned by the IEEE to the manufactured
OUI (Organizationally Unique Identifier) assigned by IEEE ex: dell, hp
Last three bytes are usually assigned sequentially
Allow for uniqueness duplications are rare
