While an IP packet is being packaged to be delivered at the Ethernet frame stage,
how is the destination MAC address determined? Is the destination MAC address going
to be MAC address of the local gateway or the remote host?
Is the MAC changed by the network devices (routers) along the way until it has been
delivered to
the destination Ethernet IP address?
If a MAC address is,
01 23 45 67 89 11
Which half is the vendor specific portion? Where would the multicast bit and locally
administered MAC address bit be located?
Thank you in advance.
