Thanks for the hint. I see the point. The problem is caused by the many virtual entities that are used nowadays in these data center / cloud computing scenarios. So effectively the number of devices per OUI runs out quickly requiring to allocate another OUI, leading to the problem. However, virtual entities would be covered in the IID part of the ULA, and my intended use case for OUIs is different.
