- used for communication between computer devices like computers, printers, phones.... - the reach of a PAN is usually only a couple of meters ||  || - consist of copper wires that are twisted into pairs ||  || - is a unique identifier assigned to network interfaces for communications on the physical network segment - MAC addresses are most often assigned by the manufacturer of a network interface card (NIC) and are stored in its hardware, the card's read-only memory, or some other firmware mechanism. If assigned by the manufacturer, a MAC address usually encodes the manufacturer's registered identification number and may be referred to as the **burned-in address**. It may also be known as an **Ethernet hardware address** (**EHA**), **hardware address** or **physical address.** ||  || - The **Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol** (**DHCP**) is an automatic configuration protocol used on IP networks. Computers that are connected to non-DHCP equipped IP networks must be configured before they can communicate with other computers on the network. DHCP allows a computer to be configured automatically, eliminating the need for intervention by a network administrator. It also provides a central database for keeping track of computers that have been connected to the network. This prevents two computers from accidentally being configured with the same IP address. ||  || - The **Internet Protocol** (**IP**) is the principal communications protocol used for relaying datagrams (packets) across an internetwork using the Internet Protocol Suite. Responsible for routing packets across network boundaries, it is the primary protocol that establishes the Internet. ||  || -IPv4 uses 32-bit (four-byte) addresses, which limits the address space to 4294967296 (232) addresses. -The most important feature of IPv6 is a much larger address space than in IPv4. The length of an IPv6 address is 128 bits, compared to 32 bits in IPv4. The address space therefore supports 2^128 or approximately 3.4×1038 addresses. By comparison, this amounts to approximately 5×10^28 addresses for each of the 6.8 billion people alive in 2010. ||  || ]] ||   ||   ||
