You have to 'reserve' part of the [MAC] address space when you make a network card, so everyone has a unique address. Since everyone's network card is unique, this is often used as a unique identifier for a machine (even though a machine may have multiple network cards, or not have one at all).
An [Ethernet] packet header contains the source and destination [Ethernet] [MACAddress]es and a [Protocol] (or Length) field.
