About MAC Addresses

OUI (Vendor Prefix)

First 3 bytes (24 bits) identify the manufacturer. Assigned by IEEE.

Device Identifier

Last 3 bytes (24 bits) are assigned by the manufacturer to each device.

Unicast vs Multicast

Least significant bit of first byte: 0 = unicast, 1 = multicast.

UAA vs LAA

Second least significant bit: 0 = universally administered, 1 = locally administered.
