ADVANET INC. MAC prefix identification
Summary
- // what this is
- Advanet is registered to MAC prefix
00:10:71in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with00:10:71, that block was registered by Advanet — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device. - // analyst note
- An exact match identifies the registry assignment only; it does not establish device type, deployment, prevalence, or security state. The 24-bit suffix space is a count of possible values, not devices or shipments. RFC 7042 explains Group and Local bit interpretation for MAC identifiers.
About this vendor.
A MAC address beginning 00:10:71 matches the IEEE MA-L assignment registered to ADVANET INC.; the record does not identify a device category or product for that prefix.
The assignment covers the first 24 bits of a 48-bit MAC identifier, leaving 24 bits for the suffix. That permits 16,777,216 possible suffix values, a mathematical range rather than a count of devices, addresses in use, or shipments.
For this exact prefix, the first octet 00 has Group bit 0 and Local bit 0. RFC 7042 identifies these as special bits in MAC addresses and says OUIs and longer MAC prefixes are assigned with the Local bit zero and Group bit unspecified. Changing either bit changes the prefix, so those variants do not match this literal assignment. A match supports registry attribution only; it does not establish a particular device, deployment, traffic prevalence, or security state.
