AIT Austrian Institute of Technology GmbH: vendor identified, device type unknown

A MAC address beginning with 00:60:36 matches an IEEE MA-L assignment to AIT Austrian Institute of Technology GmbH; the record does not identify a device type. The assignment establishes a registry match, not which organization currently operates an address or which product uses it.

This is one 24-bit prefix, leaving 24 bits for suffix values. The first byte 00 has Group bit 0 and Local bit 0. For this exact prefix, those bits are fixed; changing either bit produces a different prefix. The 16,777,216 possible suffix values describe address space, not a count of devices or shipments.

RFC 7042 explains that a 48-bit MAC identifier can begin with an OUI or a longer assigned prefix, followed by the remaining bits. Use the complete prefix and its 24-bit boundary when comparing a captured address. A matching prefix supports the registry identification, but does not establish the specific device, deployment, or safety of the address.
