I thank you all for those comments about my post on IP<->MAC,
you all let me know about the previous non-existence of MAC(ethernet)
I may sound dumb, but, what mechanisms did you have in lower layers previous to
MAC implementations? it was all done by IP addresses?
Not everything has a MAC address nowadays, but, does everything (in an IP
network) need an IP address?
Saludos.
Regards.
