Imagine you have some network configured like this
+-----+ +------+ +------+ +-----+
|comp.|---|bridge|---|router|---|comp.|
| A |---| B |---| C |---| D |
+-----+ +------+ ^ +------+ +-----+
|
-- Here!
If computer A sends an ethernet packet to computer D...
- The source IP is going to be A and the destination IP is going to be D.
- What are going to be the MAC addresses on it at the marked segment?
I think I narrowed it down to two possibilities:
- Possibility 1:
- Source MAC is B
- Destination MAC is C
- Possibility 2:
- Source MAC is A
- Destination MAC is D
Which -- if any -- is correct?
Thanks for your time?
