Explanation

MAC (Media Access Control) addresses are unique hardware addresses assigned to network interfaces for communication within the same broadcast domain. Devices in a broadcast domain use MAC addresses to deliver frames at the Data Link Layer (Layer 2) of the OSI model. This allows direct communication between devices without relying on Layer 3 routing.
