Akara Canada, Inc. — MAC prefix identification
Summary
- // what this is
- Akara Canada is registered to MAC prefix
00:03:E9in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with00:03:E9, that block was registered by Akara Canada — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device.
About this vendor.
A MAC address beginning with 00:03:E9 is registered to Akara Canada, Inc.; the supplied evidence does not identify a device category or product associated with this prefix. The IEEE record lists the company in Canada and assigns it one MA-L prefix.
The prefix covers the first 24 bits of a 48-bit MAC address, leaving 24 bits for suffix values: 16,777,216 possible values. This is a mathematical address-space count, not a count of devices, shipments, or observed addresses. RFC 7042 explains that MAC prefixes may be 24 bits or longer and that their remaining bits complete the 48-bit identifier.
For this exact prefix, the first octet is 00: its Group bit and Local bit are both zero. The prefix therefore has fixed values for those bits. Changing either bit produces a different prefix; variation in the remaining 24 bits does not change the assignment. A matching address supports identification of the registered prefix only, not a particular device, product, deployment, or security status.
