Understand the 64-bit Extended Unique Identifier (EUI-64) and its uses

The 64-bit Extended Unique Identifier (EUI-64) is a standardized identifier defined by the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) to provide a globally unique or locally administered 64-bit (8-byte) value for devices, interfaces, or other entities. It extends the more common 48-bit EUI-48 (often called a MAC address) to support larger address spaces, particularly… Read More Understand the 64-bit Extended Unique Identifier (EUI-64) and its uses

Understanding of MAC Addresses (MAC-48 / EUI-48) structure and its uses

A MAC address (Media Access Control address), also called a hardware address, physical address, or burned-in address (BIA), is a unique identifier assigned to a network interface controller (NIC) for communications at the data link layer (Layer 2) of the OSI model. It enables devices to communicate within the same local network segment, such as… Read More Understanding of MAC Addresses (MAC-48 / EUI-48) structure and its uses
