About this vendor.

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

A MAC address beginning 00:80:27 matches an IEEE MA-L assignment to ADAPTIVE SYSTEMS, INC.; the record does not identify a device category or product using it. The prefix is 24 bits, leaving 24 bits for possible suffix values. A match establishes the address prefix only, not the specific device, its maker today, or its security state.

The first byte of 00:80:27 is 00, so the Group bit and Local bit are both zero. In RFC 7042, the Group bit distinguishes group from individual addresses; the supplied excerpt does not explain the Local bit. These bit values describe the prefix and do not show how frequently an address is deployed.

There are 16,777,216 possible 24-bit suffix values. That is the size of the suffix space, not a count of devices, shipments, or observed addresses. Assignment dates are unavailable in these IEEE CSV records.
