Endadress

Endadress, often written as end address or end-dress in some contexts, is a term used in several fields to denote the final destination address in a sequence, data flow, or collection. Its exact meaning depends on the domain.

In postal and logistics contexts, the endadress refers to the recipient’s final delivery address where a parcel or letter is to be delivered. It is the last line or component that completes the routing to the intended recipient.

In computing and networking, the endadress typically means the final destination address of a data unit. For a network packet, it is the destination IP or hardware address that the packet is intended to reach. In routing, the endadress is the ultimate endpoint after traversing intermediaries. In software and memory management, the term can describe the end of a data region, such as the last valid element in an array or the pointer one past the end of a memory block.

In data structures and programming, some discussions use endadress to describe the boundary of a collection, for example the address immediately after the last valid element in an array or the end pointer of a linked sequence. This usage emphasizes bounds and safe access.

Usage notes: endadress is not a universally standardized term and may be replaced by more precise language appropriate to the domain. Variants include end address, destination address, or end point, depending on context.
