If you have read some of our older blog posts, you may realize that we at Core Networks are fans of VoIP. However, if you have stumbled across our blog to read some of our newer posts, you probably don’t understand what VoIP is, other than some fancy type of telephone.

I figured I’d give you all a break from malware and talk about something different. In that spirit, I’m doing a little post about IP addresses and MAC addresses. I’m going explain the difference between MAC and IP addresses by starting with question: “What is an IP address?”
IP address stands for Internet Protocol address, while MAC address stands for Media Access Control address. That probably means nothing for those that are not tech-savvy, and trying to explain them by discussing things like network identification will just be confusing. Instead, I am going to explain them by comparing them to cars.
