n Typically, each process has its own segment table
n Similarly to paging, each segment table entry
contains a present bit and a modified bit
n If the segment is in main memory, the entry contains
the starting address and the length of that segment
n Other control bits may be present if protection and
sharing is managed at the segment level
n Logical to physical address translation is similar to
paging except that the offset is added to the starting
address (instead of being appended)
