IPv4 addresses are 32-bit long, which is statement 2, filling the first blank.
IPv6 addresses are 128-bit long, statement 1, filling the second blank.
MAC addresses are 48-bit long, statement 5, filling the third blank.
A MAC address is oriented towards hardware, statement 4, as it is fixed to the network card.
An IP address is oriented towards software, statement 3, as it is assigned logically by the network.
This gives the order 2, 1, 5, 4, 3 across the five blanks.
