In computer science, a physical address is the address presented to a computer's main memory in a virtual memory system, in contrast to the virtual address which is the address generated by the CPU. Virtual addresses are translated into physical addresses by a memory management unit (abbreviated MMU). In network connection, physical address also means MAC address.
