>> MAC addresses alone wouldn't be enough for network communications.
单独的MAC地址不足以进行网络通信。
They are not hierarchical, but rather flat addresses.
它们不是分层的,而是扁平的地址。
You can buy a NIC on the web right after someone in another country from the same website.
你可以在同一网站上购买网卡,就在另一个国家的人之后。
Even with the NICs being ordered from different countries,
the MAC addresses of those NICs could very well be sequential.
即使从不同的国家订购网卡,这些网卡的MAC地址也可以是顺序的。
IP addresses alone wouldn't be enough for network communications either.
单独的IP地址也不足以进行网络通信。
These logical addresses are leased to client devices on a dynamic basis.
这些逻辑地址在动态的基础上租给客户端设备。
In most cases, they're even geographical
with IP address numbers representing different parts of the world.
在大多数情况下,它们甚至是地理上的,IP地址数字代表世界的不同部分。
How do we tie those geographical, logical addresses to the devices
that are using them on a dynamic basis?
我们如何将这些地理上的、逻辑上的地址与动态使用它们的设备联系起来?
That's why the NICs and their MAC addresses are so very important.
这就是为什么nic及其MAC地址如此重要的原因。
The logical IP addresses can now be bound to and associated with a device
as MAC address for a duration of time.
逻辑IP地址现在可以作为MAC地址与设备绑定并关联一段时间。
That's how we keep track of which device is temporarily using an IP address
of a network at any point in time.
这就是我们跟踪哪个设备在任何时候临时使用网络的IP地址的方法。
Think of a restaurant.
想想餐馆。
At one point in a given day, a certain couple might be sitting at table number 5.
在某一天的某一时刻,某一对夫妇可能坐在5号桌。
Later, a group of friends will be sitting there.
稍后,一群朋友将坐在那里。
Table number 5 will be associated
with a different reservation at different points in time.
表5将在不同的时间点与不同的预订相关联。
Think of the table number as the host ID of the IP address.
可以将表号看作IP地址的主机ID。
The restaurant's street address could be the network ID portion of the IP address.
餐馆的街道地址可以是IP地址的网络ID部分。
All tables in the restaurant after all are found at that location.
毕竟餐厅里所有的桌子都在那个位置。
Table number 6 would be a different host ID
but it will still have the same street address as table number 5.
表6将是不同的主机ID,但它仍然具有与表5相同的街道地址。
How do we know who is using that table at any given point in time?
我们如何知道在给定的时间点上谁在使用该表?
The reservation name.
预订的名字。
How do we know which device is using a given IP address at any point in time?
我们如何知道哪个设备在任何时候使用给定的IP地址?
The MAC address.
MAC地址。
An IP address, a MAC address, you simply can't have one without the other.
IP地址,MAC地址,两者缺一不可。
Think back to the beginning of this module when I told you a couple of stories.
回想一下这个模块的开始,我给你们讲了几个故事。
I had to get Bob Smith's attention so I can get his house number.
我必须引起鲍勃·史密斯的注意,这样我才能知道他的房号。
I did so by shouting in the middle of the night, interrupting everyone
on the block, disturbing them all.
我在半夜大喊大叫,打断了街区里的每一个人,打扰了他们所有人。
That's what host A did in story number 1 to get the MAC address of host B.
这就是主机A在故事1中所做的,以获得主机B的MAC地址。
In story number 2,
I realized that Staten Island was not local to me here in Rochester, neither was Philly.
在第二个故事中,我意识到史坦顿岛对我来说不是罗切斯特本地的,费城也不是。
So I had to get the traffic to my default gateway, my local UPS store.
所以我必须把流量送到我的默认网关,我的本地UPS商店。
That's what host A did when he realized that the destination was on a different network
当主机A意识到目的地在另一个网络上时,他就是这么做的
