if the MAC address is not matched, then the packet is discarded and not processed.
The receiver acknowledges packets it has received, and if the sender doesn't get an acknowledgment, it will eventually re-send the doubtful packet
Your loop-back address or localhost is always 127.0.0.1. When a packet is sent to this address, the packet is routed internally to the network loopback device. The packet is then received back by your computer as if it came from an outside source.
1.The router will discard the packet. 2.The router will send a time exceeded message to the source host.
For a message to send out, it has to address which Mac address to send. If the message I received doesn't not match with my MAC address then my network interface will drop the packet completely. If your network is on promiscuous mode, then your network interface will not drop the message. It is good for packet sniffing. I hope this helps.
There are two address fields. Source is the IP address the packet came from and destination is the IP address the packet is meant to be delivered to.
broadcast the packet through all interfaces except the one on which it was received
A packet is a piece of data sent and received by servers and computers.
here in data link the actual physical mean of coneection will takes place between source and destination hosts......once packet from network layer enter into data link layer the trailer is gonna add to packet also the MAC(media access control) address of destination host will be determined............once source host get the information of MAC.......its gonna add to packet along with packet then it will be called by name frame....switch will work in this layer and the protocol used are ARP and RARP........
The Destination Address (Layer 2 or Layer 3)
The Surprise Packet - 1913 is rated/received certificates of: UK:U
Which portion of the destination IP address is used as a packet is routed through the Internet?
Destination address
