MAC address vendor

NV ADB TTV Technologies SA MAC prefix: device identity Unknown

Primary prefix
00:0C:97
Block
MA-L

Summary

// what this is
NV ADB TTV Technologies is registered to MAC prefix 00:0C:97 in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with 00:0C:97, that block was registered by NV ADB TTV Technologies — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device.
// analyst note
The supplied IEEE record establishes an MA-L prefix assignment only; it does not identify a device or map a product to the prefix. For this exact 24-bit prefix, the first octet 00 has Group bit 0 and Local bit 0. These bits are fixed for a literal match; changing either bit results in a different prefix. The 24-bit suffix has 16,777,216 possible values, not a corresponding count of devices or shipments. RFC 7042 describes 48-bit MAC identifiers as an assigned prefix plus remaining bits.

A MAC address beginning 00:0C:97 identifies an IEEE MA-L assignment registered to NV ADB TTV Technologies SA; the record does not establish a particular device or product. RFC 7042 describes 48-bit MAC identifiers as a three-octet OUI followed by three additional octets, or as a longer assigned prefix followed by fewer bits. Here the prefix is 24 bits, leaving 24 bits for the suffix.

For this exact prefix, the first octet is 00: its Group bit and Local bit are both zero. Those fixed bits describe the literal assigned prefix; changing either bit produces a different prefix. A captured matching address supports the registry-assignment match, not identification of a device, shipment, deployment, traffic prevalence, current legal identity, or security state.

The 24-bit suffix has 16,777,216 possible values. That is an address-space count, not a count of devices or shipped units. IEEE CSV records supplied here provide no assignment date.
