AKCP MAC Prefix 00:0B:DC: Vendor Assignment
Summary
- // what this is
- AKCP is registered to MAC prefix
00:0B:DCin the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with00:0B:DC, that block was registered by AKCP — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device. - // analyst note
- This 24-bit literal prefix fixes the first-byte Group and Local bits at 0. A match requires the first 24 bits to equal 00:0B:DC; 24 suffix bits allow 16,777,216 possible values, not an actual device or shipment count. A prefix match identifies the registry assignment only, not a particular device, operator, or product.
About this vendor.
A MAC address beginning 00:0B:DC matches an IEEE MA-L assignment to AKCP; the registry record does not identify a device category or a particular product. This prefix is 24 bits long, so a matching 48-bit address has 24 remaining bits. Those bits allow 16,777,216 possible suffix values, a mathematical address-space count rather than a count of devices or shipments.
For this exact prefix, the first-byte Group and Local bits are both zero. The Group bit is the low-order bit in the first octet; the Local bit is the next-lowest bit. Changing either bit changes the literal prefix and no longer matches 00:0B:DC. RFC 7042 describes the structure of 48-bit MAC identifiers and these bit meanings.
The IEEE record includes TH as a country indication, but does not establish device deployment, traffic prevalence, safety, current vendor identity, or a mapping to AKCP products. Use the first 24 bits to identify the registry match; the address alone cannot identify the device or prove who operates it.
- Registry assignment
00:0B:DCis assigned to AKCP under MA-L.- Matching boundary
- The first 24 bits must match; 24 bits remain after the prefix.
- Address interpretation
- Group bit 0 and Local bit 0 are fixed for this literal prefix; changing either changes the prefix.
- Device or product
- Not established by the registry record.
