MAC address vendor

Adachi-Syokai Co., Ltd. MAC Prefix: Registry Assignment

Primary prefix
00:27:16
Block
MA-L

Summary

// what this is
Adachi-Syokai is registered to MAC prefix 00:27:16 in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with 00:27:16, that block was registered by Adachi-Syokai — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device.
// analyst note
The 24-bit prefix matches on the first three octets. For the literal prefix 00:27:16, the first-byte Group and Local bits are both zero; changing either bit produces a different prefix. The remaining 24 bits permit 16,777,216 possible suffix values, not an inferred device or shipment count. A match indicates the registry assignment only.

About this vendor.

Updated  ·  Confidence: High  ·  2 sources  ·  How this page is checked

A MAC address beginning 00:27:16 matches an IEEE MA-L assignment registered to Adachi-Syokai Co., Ltd.; the prefix alone does not identify a device type or product. The IEEE record gives the registrant’s country as Japan, but provides no product or deployment details.

This is a 24-bit prefix, so the match is determined by the first three octets: 00:27:16. The remaining 24 bits allow 16,777,216 possible suffix values. That is a count of possible address suffixes, not a count of devices, shipments, or addresses observed in use.

For this exact prefix, the first octet is 00: its Group bit and Local bit are both zero. RFC 7042 describes these bits as having special significance; changing either bit changes the literal prefix and therefore does not match this assignment. A match establishes the registry assignment only, not which device, operating system, current vendor identity, or security state is present.
