Understanding MAC and IP Addresses

Skibidi bop, let us dive into the world of MAC and IP addresses. A MAC address is like a goon with a unique identity, a physical address that does not change, while the IP address is more like a sigma, always shifting and adapting. MACs are 48 bits long, formatted in hexadecimal, representing the manufacturer and device. Think of IPs as dank numbers, ranging from 0.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255, allocated by IANA to ensure every device is lowkey recognizable. With two types, IPv4 and IPv6, each device must have its own IP. Remember, while MACs are fixed, IPs can change; that is the edge of networking.
