MAC address vendor

Maxio Technology (Hangzhou) Ltd. MAC Prefixes: Device Unknown

Primary prefix
78:BB:88
Block
MA-L

Summary

// what this is
Maxio Technology is registered to MAC prefix 78:BB:88 and 1 more in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with 78:BB:88, that block was registered by Maxio Technology — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device.
// analyst note
Both 24-bit prefixes have first-byte Group bit 0 and Local bit 0, leaving 24 suffix bits (16,777,216 possible values per prefix). This is a possible suffix-value count, not a device or shipment count. An exact prefix match identifies the registry assignment; no supplied source maps either prefix to a specific product or device category.

About this vendor.

Updated  ·  Confidence: High  ·  3 sources  ·  How this page is checked

A MAC address beginning with either 78:BB:88 or 0C:82:D5 identifies an IEEE MA-L assignment to Maxio Technology (Hangzhou) Ltd.; the assigned prefixes alone do not identify a device category. The supplied PCI-SIG record separately names Maxio Technology (Hangzhou) Co., Ltd. and lists a PCIe NVMe SSD controller, but it does not link that product to either MAC prefix.

Each prefix is 24 bits, leaving 24 bits for suffix values: 16,777,216 possible values per prefix. That is an address-space count, not a count of devices or shipments. In both prefixes, the first-byte Group and Local bits are zero. An exact match to the full 24-bit prefix fixes those bits; changing either bit changes the prefix and is not variation within that assignment.

A captured match supports identifying the registry assignment only. It does not establish the device, operating system, deployment, current vendor identity, traffic prevalence, or safety. RFC 7042 describes the relationship between 48-bit MAC identifiers and assigned prefixes, and the significance of the Group and Local bits.

Registry assignment
Maxio Technology (Hangzhou) Ltd. — MA-L records list both prefixes.
Device category
Unknown — no retrieved source maps either exact prefix to a device category.
Product context
PCI-SIG lists MAP1806 as a PCIe NVMe SSD controller for Maxio Technology (Hangzhou) Co., Ltd.; no prefix mapping is stated.
Address interpretation
Each 24-bit prefix leaves 24 suffix bits, with 16,777,216 possible suffix values. The first-byte Group and Local bits are both zero for each exact prefix.
