• Each network device’s interface has a unique MAC address, which is crucial for identifying devices on a local network.

  • TCP Header: The Source IP Address is listed before the Destination IP Address.

  • Ethernet Header: The Destination MAC Address comes before the Source MAC Address.


Important Note:

  • Source and Destination IP Addresses remain unchanged throughout the journey.
  • Routers update the Ethernet header, particularly the Source and Destination MAC Addresses, but do not alter the IP header.
