    The document discusses packet delivery between hosts on an Ethernet LAN. It explains that layer 2 uses MAC addresses assigned to end devices, while layer 3 uses IP addresses. The host-to-host delivery process involves determining the destination device's MAC address using ARP if unknown, and switches learning and maintaining a table to map MAC addresses to switch ports for frame forwarding without altering layer 2 addresses.

    Layer 3 Addressing

    Each NOS has its own Layer 3 address format.


    OSI uses NSAP.
    TCP/IP uses IP.

    Summary
    Layer 2 addresses are MAC addresses.
    Layer 3 addresses are IP addresses.
    If the MAC address is not known, ARP is used to map Layer 2
    to Layer 3.
    Switches learn the MAC addressing to port mapping by
    monitoring the source addresses of frames.
    When a switch forwards a frame, it does not change the source
    or destination Layer 2 address.
