Question 5 • Career Explorations II

Which of the following statements is False?

Answer
A
IP addresses are used by the Internet layer.
B
MAC addresses are used by the data-link layer.
C
The MAC address marks the final destination of the frames.
D
A package passes through several MAC addresses to reach an IP address.

Explanation

The data-link layer uses MAC addresses to deliver each frame across a single network link, typically to the next device (the next hop), not necessarily to the final destination. The Internet layer uses IP addresses to identify the destination across networks. So the false statement is that the MAC address marks the final destination of the frames.
