Understanding Network Address Types

Physical addresses and MAC addresses identify devices on local networks and are used by routers to direct traffic. Logical addresses are generated by CPUs and do not physically exist, but reference physical memory locations. Port addresses identify specific services on a host machine and complete destination addresses. Specific addresses like email addresses and URLs define recipients and document locations, and are translated to logical and port addresses for transfer of data between networks. The four address types work together to deliver data to devices, with physical addresses guiding local traffic and logical/port addresses enabling remote communication by identifying services, memory locations, and destinations.

“how the four addresses work’s and their connection in each other”

Physical Address
• Physical address and MAC address are also the same. They are used to
communicate between devices on Ethernet networks. When you send a request
message to a remote host's IP address in your computer sends that request to
your LAN's gateway like router and, it uses its physical (MAC) address as the
destination of the message. But the logical IP address of the host for its final
destination. The router or the LANs is forwards that message onward and knows
who to return the reply.
Logical Address
• A logical address or a virtual address is an address is to generate by the CPU
during program execution. A logical address does not exist physically. An
address is generated by the Central Processing is called Logical Address. which
does not exist physically, it only exists virtually and hence it is also called a virtual
address. The central processing unit’s physical memory location can be
accessed by using this virtual address as a reference and the set of all the logical
addresses generated by the central processing unit.
Port Address
• A port number is always associated with an IP address of a host and the type of
transport protocol used for communication. It completes the destination or
origination network address of a message. Port numbers are reserved to identify
specific services so that an arriving packet can be easily forwarded to a running
application.
Specific Address
• Some applications have user-friendly addresses that are designed for that
specific application. Examples include the e-mail address (for example,
yhuber@[Link]) and the Universal Resource Locator (URL) (for example,
[Link]). The first defines the recipient of an e-mail. The second is used to
find a document on the World Wide Web. These addresses get changed to the
corresponding port and logical addresses by the sending computer.

What is the Connection of four addresses to each other?

• The connection of the four addresses is the way of transferring data to a different
network. In logical address, it is the way of delivering data to another computer
even the physical address, when you send a request message to a remote host's
IP address in your computer sends that request to your LAN's gateway like router
and, it uses its physical (MAC) address as the destination of the message. Port
address is a way to identify a specific process to which an Internet or other
network message is to be forwarded when it arrives at a server. Last the Specific
address is the destination of the message or data that they deliver.
