Even FQDN can be used for different resources it is generally used to identify and define hosts in computer networks via the DNS protocol. The FQDN provides a list … Read more
Computer networks provide the link-local addresses that can be only used to communicate in the current network segment or broadcast domain in the current network. The Link-Local address is automatically generated by the host and does not needs to get a configuration service like DHCP. The Link-Local Address is automatically assigned by using the stateless … Read more
The IP address is used to address different hosts in a network with different identities. The MAC address is used to identify different network interfaces in a local area network or LAN. Even IP address is the global way to find a host in the last step of transmission the MAC address is used to … Read more
