The Individual Address Block (IAB) is an inactive registry which has been replaced by the MA-S (MAC address block, small), previously named OUI-36, and has no overlaps in addresses with the IAB [6] registry product as of January 1, 2014. The IAB uses an OUI from the MA-L (MAC address block, large) registry, previously called the OUI registry.
Virtual machines receive a MAC address in a range that is configurable in the hypervisor. [15] Additionally some operating systems permit the end user to customise the MAC address, notably OpenWRT. [16] Usage of the node's network card MAC address for the node ID means that a version-1 UUID can be tracked back to the computer that created it.
The two least-significant-bits of the second nibble of the first octet of the hexadecimal representation (i.e., the two least significant bits of the first octet) of the OUI are reserved as flag bits for some protocols (e.g., 'M' bit and 'X' bit), flags to indicate whether the address is part of an individual (unicast) or group (multicast ...
AMD64 (also variously referred to by AMD in their literature and documentation as “AMD 64-bit Technology” and “AMD x86-64 Architecture”) was created as an alternative to the radically different IA-64 architecture designed by Intel and Hewlett-Packard, which was backward-incompatible with IA-32, the 32-bit version of the x86 architecture.
Ethernet frames with a value of 1 in the least-significant bit of the first octet [note 2] of the destination MAC address are treated as multicast frames and are flooded to all points on the network. While frames with ones in all bits of the destination address ( FF-FF-FF-FF-FF-FF ) are sometimes referred to as broadcasts , Ethernet generally ...

Another approach that has been tested is truncating the MAC Address by removing the Organizationally unique identifier (the first 24 bits of the 48 bit MAC Address). [7] However, as only 0.1% of the total Organizationally unique identifier space has been allocated and not all manufacturers fully utilise their allocated MAC Address space, this ...
