ALCATEL TAISEL MAC Prefix: Registry Assignment Identified
Summary
- // what this is
- Alcatel Taisel is registered to MAC prefix
00:20:32in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with00:20:32, that block was registered by Alcatel Taisel — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device. - // analyst note
- This 24-bit prefix leaves 24 suffix bits, allowing 16,777,216 possible suffix values. The first-byte Group and Local bits are both fixed at zero for the exact prefix; changing either bit yields a different prefix. Possible suffix values do not indicate an actual device or shipment count. A prefix match identifies a registry assignment, not a particular device or security state.
About this vendor.
A MAC address beginning 00:20:32 matches an IEEE MA-L assignment registered to ALCATEL TAISEL; the record does not identify a device category or specific product. The registry record includes an unambiguous Taiwan indication, but it does not establish where an address is deployed or who currently operates a device using it.
This is a 24-bit prefix, leaving 24 bits for suffix values: 16,777,216 possible values, not a count of devices or shipments. Its first byte is 00: the Group bit and Local bit are both fixed at zero for this exact prefix. Changing either bit produces a different prefix. A matching address supports identification of the registry assignment only; it does not prove a particular product, operating system, traffic prevalence, or security state.
