Advanced Scientific Corp MAC Prefix: Registry Assignment, Device Unknown
Summary
- // what this is
- Advanced Scientific is registered to MAC prefix
00:02:18in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with00:02:18, that block was registered by Advanced Scientific — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device. - // analyst note
- An exact match to 00:02:18 identifies the MA-L registry assignment. This 24-bit prefix leaves 24 suffix bits, or 16,777,216 possible suffix values; this is not a count of devices or shipments. Its first-byte Group and Local bits are both 0 and remain fixed for a literal match; flipping either bit yields a different prefix. A MAC prefix match does not establish a specific device, product, deployment, or security state.
About this vendor.
A MAC address beginning with 00:02:18 matches an IEEE MA-L assignment to Advanced Scientific Corp; the supplied evidence does not identify a device category for this prefix. A match identifies the registered prefix, not a particular device or product, its operator, or its security state.
This is a 24-bit prefix, leaving 24 bits for suffix values: 16,777,216 possible values. That is a mathematical address-space count, not a device, shipment, or deployment count. The exact prefix has Group bit 0 and Local bit 0 in its first byte. Those bits are fixed for a literal match to 00:02:18; changing either bit produces a different prefix. RFC 7042 explains the Group and Local bit conventions for MAC identifiers.
The IEEE Organization Name field lists the registered organization name as Advanced Scientific Corp, and its address includes Taiwan. The assignment date, products, industry, website, status, and related vendors are Unknown.
