well done...thanx

[@siphilipe]

Identify a device, like what ???

[@amitprakashchauhan]

How can we send you a email ?

[@amirulafiq4371]

I'm confused a little. Say the Google web server sends responses back to the source how will the router know which host to send responses if MAC addresses swap from hardware to hardware? On top of that the IP address is translated from private to public and vice versa. How does the router determine which private IP made the requests? When two hosts in two different networks want to communicate do they use private or public IPs?

I went to university to study IT and I always felt super dumb (I failed the very first year lol), could never understand networks. Now, I am taking a cybersecurity online certificate and I must say, I understand it thanks to YOU!!!! I can't express how grateful I am for your videos, I finally get this!!! thank you so so much

[@rationalist7]

Which uni ?

[@gwgux]

As an engineer, I really like your videos and how you explain these topics! I often recommend them to our newer employees at work since their base education from school often leaves a lot of gaps in the fundamentals they need.

[@PowerCertAnimatedVideos]

Thanks

[@tylercoombs1]

To this day i always go back to PowerCert for a recap.

[@toby9999]

Yeah, these are pretty good. I've been a software developer for 25 years. Never had to bother with this but now I need it and it's a struggle!

[@pilgrimsprogress2382]

U are an amazing person God bless u

[@ahmad-murery]

You'll not find such explanation in schools/universities, Great video as usual

[@PowerCertAnimatedVideos]

Thanks! 😃

[@balajiulaganathan]

Agree

[@Urjnot]

Because they don't have animation facilities

[@ahmad-murery]

​@@Urjnot Well, then it's a shame that an individual has more facilities than a school/university, In my opinion I think they can't give what they don't have (i.e. enough knowledge or teaching skills)

[@shubhambohra2643]

I totally agree with your statement

[@kelseybeerbower2821]

I'm new to IT and have been taking courses to transition into this field. I wanted to express my gratitude for the time and effort you put into these videos. I am a visual learner, and these have been so incredibly helpful to me. You break things down so clearly! Thank you for helping us IT newbies not feel so intimidated and lost :)

[@alejandroharo0217]

I agree with you! I just started to learn about this field, and I was a little confused. I was so happy when he gave us a demonstration with the address and name. It seriously clicked in a second.

[@mw1076]

I have been to university for 4 years, and no professor has ever explained network topics as obvious as you in my college. Thanks mate! keep it up and all of us are waiting for more videos of yours.

[@thebioreligiotomist1939]

Your're one of the best teachers on the face on the planet, in my opinion. Thank you and may you live long enough to bless us with your teaching abilities.

[@wartortle3672]

Thank you so much sir, we are going over this topic in my collage course right now so this not only helps me understand the concept but also gives me more info than my professor does. Thank you so much!

[@soomaal3622]

Best teacher I came across for 40 years Thank you for making me feel smart because the way you simplify things

[@jeykstrings1521]

agree..

[@KahHongTan]

You really have a knack for teaching, those analogies and "now you might ask"s are so on point and drive everything home clearly

[@DhanushAmmayappan-z1i]

Sir, the word " thank you " is not enough for the amount of effort you're investing to teach every people around the world by making these type of videos. I really wanna thank you from the bottom of my heart. I'm from India and your Channel has a very big fan following here ❤❤❤

[@SweetVictoriaAmber]

Just started my Fall semester in cybersecurity and I’m a complete noob when it comes to Tech and this page has helped me understand so much even prior to starting classes

[@suryateja4987]

08:12 So, I wanna thank you for uploading this video, as I gain more knowledge watching your videos than my entire my time in college 🙏

[@PowerCertAnimatedVideos]

Glad I could help!

[@washingtonkolleh75]

I so enjoyed your explanation about MAC and IP addresses that I had to pause the vid in order to have made this comment. Your explanation is detailed and accompanied by real life illustrations that make learning easy to understand.

[@basiliospinello]

Man, this is crazy, you have just summarized in 8 mins my whole first networking university course! You are the best in this on youtube

Hi

[@raghad7056]

What an explanation, I'm studying Cybersecurity at School and none of these has been taught to us in this good, thank you A lot for these amazing videos

[@omarhassan5385]

i watched many videos on many channels today, and they were all good, but yours is by far the best, very simplified and organized . it kept me focused and drilled the info in my brain. you earned a subscribe . from now on i will call you sensi :D

[@PowerCertAnimatedVideos]

Great to hear!

[@James_Knott]

One minor point. While MAC addresses are supposed to be unique, this isn't always so. Some manufacturers have been known to reuse them. Regardless, since MAC addresses are relevant only on the local network, this is usually not a problem. With IP, the MAC address is discarded at the first router and replaced with the MAC address of the interface on the next hop, etc.. Also, there are some links that don't have a MAC address. These would typically software created links, such as VPNs. The router only has to know how to reach the next hop and that can be designated by just the interface.

[@jna5413]

wow, Thank you so much for your explanation

[@CountlessPWNZ]

thank you

[@thelazychewresearch]

Extra note: with the additional usage of virtual machines, VM kind of cloned the physical card and provide you with an "additional MAC address". On a side note, you can actually spoofed your MAC address on some NIC (commonly used in packet injection for WIFI hacking). In such scenarios, MAC addresses can actually be not unique.

[@mach2223]

Right, they also usually take the duplicate MAC address NICs and ship them off to different parts of the world, so there's even less of a chance they'll ever meet in a single network and cause problems.

Thanks for this great explanation, it helped me on the interview for school (it's an IT school with a paid practice so it's half school and half job), interviewer was excited when I explained it to her like in this video. Your videos are amazing man💪

Excellent video, finally i understand the use of both IP and MAC individually and how a network uses both to comunicate

[@mskang009]

I've spent a lot of days understanding these concepts, but failed. Such a great video.

[@RacoonsAreJustForbiddenCats]

I legitimately thought a MAC address was just an Apple product using the network (I.e., MacBook, Ipad, IPhone, etc.). Thank you for these videos.

Things that guy on Teams couldn't explain properley in 6 hours. What a shame
