|{{Admon/note | Obtaining Remote MAC Addresses| The term '''MAC''' address stands for '''Media Access Control''' address, which provides a unique ID to prevent confusion among computer systems within a network. While we use '''32bit IP addresse'''s to communicate over an internet, on the local ethernet network packets are delivered to a '''48bit hardware address''' (sometimes called a MAC address). The '''ARP''' protocol resolves 32bit IP addresses to 48bit MAC addresses by using a broadcast and caching the results. We can examine the ARP cache to get the MAC addresses of other computers to solve problems involving MAC addresses (such as '''Wake Up on Lan''').}}
