Meanings
-
Media Access Control address; a unique identifying number assigned to most network devices.
The MAC address substitution module then substitutes the source MAC address and the destination MAC address of the packet before it is forwarded into the interface port. The source MAC address is replaced by that of the output interface, and the destination MAC address is replaced by that of the immediate next hop (a router or the destination host).
