    The order of the hexadecimal digits in each pair, and the mapping between the hexadecimal digits and the bits of the octet value, are derived by interpreting the bits of the octet value as a binary numeral using the normal mathematical rules for digit significance.” [3] (See hexadecimal).

  3. MAC address - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAC_address

    The Individual Address Block (IAB) is an inactive registry which has been replaced by the MA-S (MAC address block, small), previously named OUI-36, and has no overlaps in addresses with the IAB [6] registry product as of January 1, 2014.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.

    The WWN formats include: [3] "Original" IEEE formats are essentially a two-byte header followed by an embedded EUI-48 address (which contains the OUI). The first 2 bytes are either hex 10:00 or 2x:xx (where the x's are vendor-specified) followed by the 3-byte OUI and 3 bytes for a vendor-specified serial number.

  5. Point-to-Point Protocol - Wikipedia

    As there are only two endpoints on a tunnel, the tunnel is a point-to-point connection and PPP is a natural choice as a data link layer protocol between the virtual network interfaces. PPP can assign IP addresses to these virtual interfaces, and these IP addresses can be used, for example, to route between the networks on both sides of the tunnel.

    Ethernet packet. The SFD (start frame delimiter) marks the end of the packet preamble. It is immediately followed by the Ethernet frame, which starts with the destination MAC address. [1] In computer networking, an Ethernet frame is a data link layer protocol data unit and uses the underlying Ethernet physical layer transport mechanisms.

  7. Broadcast address - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadcast_address

    The all-ones value was established as the standard broadcast address for networks that support broadcast. [1] This method of using the all-ones address was first proposed by R. Gurwitz and R. Hinden in 1982. [2] The later introduction of subnets and Classless Inter-Domain Routing changed this slightly, so that the all-ones value becomes the ...

  8. Universally unique identifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universally_unique_identifier

    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.

    Hexspeak is a novelty form of variant English spelling using the hexadecimal digits. Created by programmers as memorable magic numbers, hexspeak words can serve as a clear and unique identifier with which to mark memory or data. Hexadecimal notation represents numbers using the 16 digits 0123456789ABCDEF.
