Logical Addresses: Logical addresses refer to the network addresses assigned to devices for communication within a network and are not permanently tied to the hardware. Unlike physical addresses (MAC addresses), logical addresses (such as IP addresses) can change based on network topology and are used by the network layer to route data to the correct destination.
