Aboundi, Inc. — MAC prefix identifies a registry assignment; device type unknown
Summary
- // what this is
- Aboundi is registered to MAC prefix
50:A7:15in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with50:A7:15, that block was registered by Aboundi — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device. - // analyst note
- An exact
50:A7:15match fixes the first-byte Group and Local bits at 0. Changing either bit produces a different prefix. The remaining 24 bits allow 16,777,216 possible suffix values; this is not a device or shipment count. A prefix match establishes a registry assignment match, not a specific device, operating system, deployment, or safety state.
About this vendor.
A MAC address beginning 50:A7:15 matches an IEEE MA-L assignment registered to Aboundi, Inc.; the available evidence does not identify a device category or product using it. The IEEE record indicates the United States at country level. This assignment identifies the registrant in that record, not necessarily a current vendor identity or a particular device.
50:A7:15 is a 24-bit prefix, leaving 24 bits for possible suffix values: 16,777,216 combinations. That number describes address space, not observed devices, shipments, or traffic. In the first byte 50 (hexadecimal), the Group bit and Local bit are both zero. Those bits are fixed for an exact literal prefix match; changing either changes the prefix.
RFC 7042 explains that MAC identifiers may use an initial organizational prefix followed by additional bits, and describes the Group and Local bits. Matching this prefix can establish that the captured address begins with the registered value, but cannot establish its hardware, operating system, deployment, or safety. Assignment dates are unavailable in these IEEE CSV records.
