Acbel Polytech Inc.: MAC Prefix Identifies a Registry Assignment
Summary
- // what this is
- Acbel Polytech is registered to MAC prefix
00:13:96in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with00:13:96, that block was registered by Acbel Polytech — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device. - // analyst note
- A match identifies the IEEE registry assignment. It does not establish a device, product, deployment, traffic prevalence, current vendor identity, or security status. The prefix is 24 bits with 24 suffix bits; Group and Local bits in the first byte are both zero. There are 16,777,216 possible suffix values, not a device or shipment count.
About this vendor.
A MAC address beginning 00:13:96 matches an IEEE MA-L assignment to Acbel Polytech Inc.; it does not identify a specific device or product. The supplied assignment record provides no device category or product-to-prefix mapping, so the device or vendor of a captured interface cannot be determined from this prefix alone.
This is a 24-bit prefix, leaving 24 bits for suffix values: 16,777,216 possibilities, not a count of devices, shipments, or observed addresses. In this exact prefix, the first-byte Group and Local bits are both zero. The matching boundary is the first 24 bits; changing either bit produces a different prefix.
The IEEE CSV record displays no assignment date. RFC 7042 explains the significance of Group and Local bits in MAC identifiers. A prefix match establishes the recorded assignment only; it does not establish deployment, traffic prevalence, current vendor identity, or security status.
