What is media access control protocol...?
Media access control (MAC) protocols enforce a methodology to allow multiple devices access to a shared media network. Before LANs, communication between computing devices had been point-to-point. That is, two devices were connected by a dedicated channel.
A Media Access Control (MAC) address is the unique hardware address of an Ethernet network interface card (NIC), typically “burned in” at the factory. MAC addresses may be changed in software.
