Here are a couple of counterexamples, taken from the list of 10 MAC addresses in my previous message. Both duplicates apparently due to software error, both affecting Linksys routers: 1. Googling "mac address 00:90:4c:91:00:01" gives me for instance http://homecommunity.cisco.com/t5/Access-Points/WAP54G-MAC-address-overwritten-how/td-p/26679 http://forum.soft32.com/linux2/Linksys-WAP54G-spontaneously-MAC-ftopict40391.html 2. Googling "mac address 00:40:10:20:00:02" gives me for instance http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=16097&sid=81aa5d3a28eb9718427591418ea20e3e http://secure.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=53350&view=next&sid=c927780443f32c982cf9dd57d73ae952 Steinar Haug, Nethelp consulting, sth...@nethelp.no -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPv6 working group mailing list ipv6@ietf.org Administrative Requests: https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipv6 --------------------------------------------------------------------
