Compare and contrast MAC addresses with IP addresses

What will be an ideal response?


MAC addresses operate at the OSI data link layer (Layer 2). Layer 2 addresses are used only
for local delivery when transporting a frame across a local medium. These addresses use a
flat addressing scheme and do not indicate on what network a device is located. If a device is
moved to another network, its Layer 2 address does not need to change. IP addresses operate
at the OSI network layer (Layer 3). Layer 3 addresses are carried from source to destination
host across an internetwork. Layer 3 addresses use a hierarchical addressing scheme and indi
cate a network number and host identifier.
