DriveNets — 2 prefixes (MA-L)

DriveNets is an Israeli networking software company, founded in 2015 by Ido Susan and Hillel Kobrinsky and headquartered in Ra'anana, Israel. The cached IEEE MA-L registry lists two separate 24-bit OUI blocks under the identical organization name "Drivenets," both addressed to Ra'anana — 84:40:76 ("4 ashizaf Raanana IL 4366411") and A4:C0:B0 ("1st Zarhin St. Raanana Israel IL 4366235") — a multi-OUI pattern consistent with a genuine equipment manufacturer rather than a one-off shell filing, and the registered address independently matches the company's real-world HQ found via Wikipedia. DriveNets' flagship product, DriveNets Network Cloud, is a disaggregated network operating system that runs on commodity white-box routers, letting carriers build distributed core/peering routers instead of buying monolithic chassis from traditional vendors; the company has since extended the same disaggregation model into Ethernet-based AI networking fabrics for hyperscalers. Named production deployments include AT&T's disaggregated core router buildout, KDDI's backbone routers at four sites, and Comcast, and AT&T took a roughly 15% equity stake in DriveNets in 2025 at an approximate $5B valuation — evidence this is large-scale carrier infrastructure, not a niche or short-lived vendor. No DriveNets-specific CVEs or security advisories turned up in a targeted NVD/CVE search; that is recorded as "no public record found" rather than "clean," since the device class (carrier-core routers) is a higher-value target than typical consumer gear.

IEEE assignment

2 MA-L prefixes → "Drivenets," registered Ra'anana, IL [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry (rows for 844076, A4C0B0); https://standards-oui.ieee.org/oui/oui.csv

Registry / block size

MA-L (24-bit OUI); 2 prefixes found in the cached registry, no MA-M or MA-S (oui36) blocks located for this org name [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry

HQ / country

two distinct registry addresses, both Ra'anana, Israel — "4 ashizaf Raanana IL 4366411" (84:40:76) and "1st Zarhin St. Raanana Israel IL 4366235" (A4:C0:B0) [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry

Company identity / status

active, founded 2015 by Ido Susan and Hillel Kobrinsky, HQ Ra'anana, Israel — matches the OUI registry address [Confirmed] — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DriveNets; https://drivenets.com/

Device types

carrier-grade white-box/disaggregated routers and switches running DriveNets Network Cloud NOS; not consumer hardware [Confirmed] — https://drivenets.com/products/; https://techblog.comsoc.org/2019/05/12/drivenets-network-cloud-fully-disaggregated-software-solution-that-runs-on-white-boxes/

Verified prefixes

84:40:76, A4:C0:B0 [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry

Named deployments

AT&T disaggregated core routers (one source: over 52% of AT&T core traffic as of 2023; another source: over 80% of total network traffic, ~840 PB/day — these two figures conflict and are stated as a range, not reconciled); KDDI backbone routers at four locations; Comcast is also a named customer [Likely — trade-press sourced, figures conflict] — https://techblog.comsoc.org/2020/09/28/att-deploys-dis-aggregated-core-router-white-box-with-drivenets-network-cloud-software/; https://www.sdxcentral.com/news/drivenets-wants-to-upend-network-cost-structures/

Corporate milestone

AT&T took an approximate 15% equity stake in DriveNets in 2025 at a roughly $5B valuation [Likely — single trade-press line of reporting cited by the research angle, no primary filing checked] — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DriveNets

Security context

no DriveNets-specific CVEs or advisories found in a targeted NVD/CVE search; recorded as "no public record found," not "clean," given the device class is carrier-core infrastructure [Unknown / not found] — https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln; https://www.cve.org/

Date registered

Unknown — IEEE's public OUI data (the IEEE MA-L registry: Registry, Assignment, Organization Name, Organization Address) contains no assignment/registration date field at all; this is not a nulled value, the column does not exist in the source [Confirmed]

Analyst note

a DriveNets OUI on a globally-administered address identifies carrier-grade disaggregated routing/switching hardware, not end-user devices — relevant mainly to network/asset inventory in ISP or hyperscaler infrastructure, not typical home/office MAC lookups.
