Alcatel-Lucent IPD — 11 prefixes (MA-L)

"Alcatel-Lucent IPD" is a distinct IEEE MA-L registrant name, separate from the three already-published Alcatel-Lucent-family entries on this site (Alcatel-Lucent, Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise, Alcatel-Lucent Shanghai Bell). It holds 11 MA-L blocks split across two real corporate addresses: eight at 701 E. Middlefield Rd., Mountain View, CA (one row records the zip as 94943 rather than 94043 — kept verbatim as registered, not corrected), and three at 600 March Drive, Kanata, Ontario, Canada — a site that matches the historic headquarters of Newbridge Networks, which Alcatel absorbed in 2000 and folded into what later became the Alcatel-Lucent carrier-networking organization after the 2006 Alcatel/Lucent merger (itself acquired by Nokia in January 2016). No primary source was found that spells out what "IPD" stands for, and no product literature, security advisory, or device-fingerprint database independently names "Alcatel-Lucent IPD" as a product line — the registration's substance rests on its 11-block footprint and its traceable corporate lineage, not on standalone corroboration of the division itself.

IEEE assignment

11 MA-L prefixes → "Alcatel-Lucent IPD" [Confirmed] — IEEE MA-L

Registry / block size

MA-L only (24-bit OUI); zero matches in MA-M (the IEEE MA-M registry) or MA-S (the IEEE MA-S registry) [Confirmed] — IEEE the IEEE MA-L registry/mam.csv/oui36.csv

Registered addresses

701 E. Middlefield Rd., Mountain View, CA 94043, US (8 of 11 blocks; one row shows 94943, recorded verbatim as registered, not treated as authoritative) and 600 March Drive, Kanata, Ontario, CA K2K2E6 (3 of 11 blocks) [Confirmed] — IEEE MA-L

Corporate lineage

Kanata address matches the former Newbridge Networks HQ; Alcatel acquired Newbridge in 2000 and the resulting carrier-networking business became part of Alcatel-Lucent after the 2006 Alcatel/Lucent merger, which Nokia acquired in January 2016

"IPD" meaning

unconfirmed — no primary source expands the acronym; a plausible but unverified link is Alcatel's "Carrier Internetworking Division" formed from the Newbridge/Carrier Data Division merger [Unknown] — https://www.edn.com/alcatel-gulps-newbridge/

Device types

none independently corroborated by any vendor site, product catalog, or security advisory naming this registrant specifically [Unknown]

Company/org status

no standalone confirmation the division still operates under this name; parent lineage (Alcatel-Lucent) was absorbed into Nokia in 2016 [Unknown]

Sample prefixes (all 11, MA-L)

00:16:4D, 00:1A:F0, 00:1C:8E, 00:21:05, 00:23:3E, 00:25:BA, 0C:A4:02, 24:AF:4A, 6C:BE:E9, 7C:20:64, A0:F3:E4 [Confirmed] — IEEE MA-L

Dates

IEEE's the IEEE MA-L registry publishes no assignment/registration date for MA-L rows (only Registry, Assignment, Organization Name, Organization Address); none is recorded here. Any third-party "date registered" for these prefixes would be a database artifact, not an IEEE fact.

[Confirmed — absence of date] — no citation (negative finding from IEEE the IEEE MA-L registry schema)

Relation to sibling entries

disjoint from the already-DONE vendor-alcatel-lucent, vendor-alcatel-lucent-enterprise, and vendor-alcatel-lucent-shanghai-bell master rows — no OUI overlap [Confirmed] — this site's own enrichment records

Analyst note

substance for this entry comes from the 11-block count and traceable corporate address history (Mountain View + ex-Newbridge Kanata site), not from independent corroboration of an "IPD" product or brand; treat as a legitimate but low-visibility internal division registration. [Likely]
